disable Html.DropDownListFor

Question

I have the below code in CSHTML but seems like the dropdown is not getting disabled

@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.Task_Status_Code, Model.TaskStatus, new {  @class = "form-control", @disabled = "disabled" })

I want to disable it but it is not working.

Your code looks correct. It should work fine. Have you done any implementation in javascript which might enables it? — Karan

@Html.DropDownListFor(
x => x.Task_Status_Code, 
Model.TaskStatus, 
new {  @class = "form-control", disabled = "disabled" })

Removed the @ sign before the disabled property name.

You need to add the @ character before any dotnet keywords like class. Custom properties do not need to have @ prefix.

thanks worked.if I will put condition like this it is not working if (@Convert.ToBoolean(Session["isUTFTStatusEdit"])) $("#Task_Status_Code").prop("disabled", true); else $("#Task_Status_Code").prop("disabled", false);

Glad that it worked. Are the javascript codes executing? i.e. Session variable is not null right? Also you do not have a if statement?

Shouldn't it be @if(Convert.ToBoolean(Session["isUTFTStatusEdit"])) instead of (@Convert.ToBoolean(Session["isUTFTStatusEdit"]))?

    x => x.ReminderTime,
    Model.RemindersList,

)

@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.Task_Status_Code, Model.TaskStatus, new {  disabled = "disabled" })

That will work as well unless you define css form control with in then

@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.Task_Status_Code, Model.TaskStatus, new { @class="form-control", disabled = "disabled" })

Remember not to put @sign before disabled
