Question

ASP.Net MVC 2.0: EditorFor setting name via attributes

Answer 1

A:

I Guess you'll have to create your own CustomAttribute UINameAttribute. You could use the ModelMetadata to keep your attribute and then I'm not sure what would be the best way to get it, i guess you would have to overide the HtmlHelper.EditorFor Extension without the parameter and pass your attribute to the next.

I'm too lazy and to tired to try for a more complete answer.

look at :

Answer 2

A:

Use the objectAttributes argument

<%= Html.EditorFor(x => x.SportProgramIdList, "FormMultiSelectDropDownList", new { id="SportProgramIds" }) %>>

you can use this to set any of the html input attributes

This convention doesn't work for EditorFor or DisplayFor because you aren't passing in an anonymous HTML attributes object, it is an anonymous ViewData additions object. Adding something here would still require consuming it on a custom editor/display template. An example of this was done in an [answer to a similar question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1625327/asp-net-mvc-2-editorfor-and-html-properties/3021176#3021176).
