How to set disable attribute for Html.TextBoxFor based on a property value associated to that textbox

Question

I tried using this example here like this

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.MyList[0].FirstName, model.MyList[0].IsEnabled ? (object)new { disabled = "disabled" } : new { })%>

but that gave me an error

"The name model doesn't exist in the current context"

Is there a way to do this in vanilla asp.net MVC 3 without using an if else condition?

Thanks for your time...

I fixed this: I should use the actual model I am passing in to the view. Notice the change in Caps on the second parameter.

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.MyList[0].FirstName, Model.MyList[0].IsEnabled ? (object)new { disabled = "disabled" } : new { })%>

Just quickly checking for this error message suggests that maybe your web.config is broken.

Fair enough. My second guess would be the model/Model capitalisation, that's caught be out more than once.
