Hi Friends,

I have put it the following code for the initial investment
Model code

C#

[DataType(DataType.Currency)]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Initial investment is required")]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:C}")]
[Display(Name = "Initial Investment")]
[RegularExpression("^[1-9]+[0-9]*$", ErrorMessage = "Initial investment is numeric")]
public string InitialInvestment { get; set; }

Aspx code

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(InitialInvestment => Model.InitialInvestment., new { @class = "textbox", style = "width:105px", maxlength = "15"})%>

You have the wrong usage of Lambda Expressions in Textbox

Replace

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(InitialInvestment => Model.InitialInvestment., new { @class = "textbox", style = "width:105px", maxlength = "15"})%>

with

<%: Html.TextBoxFor(m=>m.InitialInvestment , new { @class = "textbox", style = "width:105px", maxlength = "15"})%>

Now try the above format, you should get it running.

OR

You even dont need to use annotations for that. Remove

C#

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

and write the following

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.InitialInvestment, new { @class = "textbox", id = "InitialInvestment", Value=String.Format("{0:C}",Model.InitialInvestment) })
