ReadOnly Form Properties

Question

I have a Form with two fields, Key and Value.

This is displayed in a form with:

@Html.LabelFor(m=> m.Key)
@Html.DisplayFor(m => m.Key)

@Html.LabelFor(m=> m.Value)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m=> m.Value)

Note that the user cannot edit m.Key, only m.Value.

This works. However, what posts with the Form is only m.Value which I would expect. However, I really do need m.Key to be returned as well.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can do:

@Html.HiddenFor(m=> m.Key)

This will create a hidden input with your key that will get POSTed back when your form is submitted.
