Using Editor template for varying display

I have to display my decimal as 00.00. I have the following EditorTemplate

 @model Decimal?

@if (Model.HasValue)
{
   @Model.Value.ToString("00.00");
 }

I have to display the decimal in a textbox and label as well. How can I use the above Template to display the following in the wanted format.

@Html.TextBoxFor(m=>@item.Price)
 @Html.LabelFor(m=>@item.Price)

You could use the [DisplayFormat] attribute on your model:

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:00.00}", NullDisplayText = "")]
public decimal? Price { get; set; }

and then to display:

@Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Price)

and to edit:

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.Price)

In your template you can use

@Html.TextBox("", (Model.HasValue ? Model.Value.ToString("00.00") : String.Empty))

or 

@if (Model.HasValue) {
  @Model.Value.ToString("00.00");
  @Html.TextBox("", Model.Value.ToString("00.00"))
}

Then in your view use

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Price)%>

create a Decimal.ascx under Views\Shared\EditorTemplates folder

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<decimal?>" %>
<% 
Html.LabelFor(m => m);
Html.TextBox (ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(string.Empty),

Model.HasValue ? Model.Value.ToString("00.00") : "00.00", new {readonly = "readonly"}) %>

if all you need is displaying it, in that case switch Editor for Display (DisplayTemplates, DisplayFor, etc) readonly attribute is to make the textbox read-only (un-editable)
