Hi I need to do the following:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Login,
new {
@class = "form-control",
@placeholder = "Username",
required="true" data-required-message="Please insert your name"
})
But Im getting error on data-required-message seems that I can't use "-".
Any clue?
You have to use it with underscore _ and razor will render it as - in html:
data_required_message="Please insert your name"
another thing to note is that you don't need to put @ sign in front of every parameter of htmlAttributes , we put it for class becasue class is a reserved word in c#, so it cannot be used directly as a variable name.
your final code will be like:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Login,
htmlAttributes: new {
@class = "form-control",
placeholder = "Username",
required="true",
data_required_message="Please insert your name"
})
you are also missing a comma after placeholder attribute.
Try data_required_message instead of data-required-message
