MVC - applying currency format to text box

Question

In MVC I have the following attribute on my model.

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode=true, DataFormatString = "{0:c2}")]

When using DisplayFor this renders as a currency to two decimal places.

However when I use TextBoxFor I get more than two decimal places.

Is there a way to restrict the textbox to two decimal places as well?

Answer 1

As stated EditorFor will work.

In my case I passed the format string into TextBoxFor

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.PaymentAmount, "{0:0.00}"..........)

Answer 2

Use EditorFor instead of TextBoxFor
