Hello below is my program that displays a list of questions based on the type of event id the user has selected. I am trying to figure out how can I hide the textbox that is for the AnswerText if the event id is 1 and then for any other event id the text box will be displayed.

@model IList<myProject.ViewModels.QuestionViewModel>

@{ 
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";

}

@{ 
    ViewBag.Title = "Event Questions";
}

<h2> Event Questions</h2>
@using (Html.BeginForm("PostAnswers", "EventQuestions", FormMethod.Post))
{
    <table class="table">
        @for (var i = 0; i < Model.Count(); i++)
        {

            <tr>
                <td>
                   
                 
                    @Html.HiddenFor(x => x[i].EventId)
                    @Html.HiddenFor(x => x[i].QuestionId)
                    @Html.DisplayFor(x => x[i].QuestionText)
                    <br />
                  
                    @if ()
                    {
                        @Html.HiddenFor(x => x[i].AnswerText, new { @class = "form-control" }) 
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        @Html.TextBoxFor(x => x[i].AnswerText, new { @class = "form-control" })
                    
                    }
   
                     

                  

                </td>
            </tr>
        }
    </table>

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-md" />
    @*Html.ActionLink("Submit", "PostAnswers")*@
   
}

What I have tried:

I was thinking along the lines of logic of if EventId = 1 {hides textbox} else {displays textbox}. Just don't know the correct syntax.

That does not work unfortunately.

Well, your question only provides half of the info necessary to answer it. You did not specify WHERE "eventID comes from,so I assumed it was a variable that you magically created. If it's in the page's model, or in another object, you of course have to modify what I told you.
