How to use the placeholder in mvc for the editorfor?

Question

I want to use placeholder in @Html.EditorFor for text in mvc. I tried many of things even search in google but whatever the answer I got that not work. I surprised...!!!. And finally I ask in question.

My lastest code for placeholder is

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.ToEmail, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = "Enter Your EmailID...!!!" } })

This code also not work.

Thank You.

I had the same problem as yours, below code worked for me in my project:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.ToEmail, new { htmlAttributes = new {placeholder = @Html.DisplayNameFor(m=>m.ToEmail) } })

If you need to add HTML attributes you should use @HTML.TextBoxFor instead of EditorFor and bind value from value attribute i.e.

 @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.ToEmail, new {  @value = model.ToEmail, @class = "form-control", @placeholder = "Enter Your EmailID...!!!"  })

Never set the `value` attribute when using the `HtmlHelper` methods. – Nov 18 '17 at 22:47
