Stop razor inline code-block within attribute

I want to achieve the following:

<input id="HtmlFieldPrefix_enterParentButton" type="button" value="Enter" />

I started off with:

<input id="@ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix-enterParentButton" type="button" value="Enter"/>

which works perfectly, however, notice I used a dash instead of an underscore. If I switch to an underscore I receive an error: Razor thinks "_enterParentButton" is part of the C# code. How to stop the razor parsing before the underscore?

In other words, how to fix this line to behave as expected:

<input id="@ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix_enterParentButton" type="button" value="Enter"/>

Embrace it with parenthesis:

@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix)


<input id="@(ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix)_enterParentButton" type="button" value="Enter"/>
