Making A Text Field Read Only

I am using the code below to make the text entry read only but this does not become read only any idea why this could be @Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName, new { Readonly

Solution 1:

Why cont you use

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName, new { @readonly = true});

or you can use like

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName, new { @readonly = "readonly"});

Solution 2:

try textboxfor

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.UserName, new { @readonly = true})

Solution 3:

The HtmlHelper EditorFor do not have overloads that take HTML attributes.

Instead of EditorFor go with TextBoxFor

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.UserName, new { disabled = "disabled", @readonly = "readonly"})

hope it helps
