You've tagged your question as MVC4. Support for custom HTML attributes in EditorFor was added in MVC 5.1:

What's New in ASP.NET MVC 5.1 | Microsoft Docs[^]:
We now allow passing in HTML attributes in EditorFor as an anonymous object.

You'll need to upgrade your project to MVC 5.1:

Solution 3

EditorFor doesn't accept HtmlAttribut! you have to use TextBoxFor instead of it try this code:

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

Did you read the documentation on the link provided by Richard Deeming "We now allow passing in HTML attributes in EditorFor as an anonymous object." It even gives an example

@Html.EditorFor(model => model, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" }, })
