I'm using ASP.NET MVC 2 and I'm struggling to understand how can I use the Html.LabelFor helpet method.

Assuming I have a model:

public class Person
{
public string lbmodelno { get; set; }}
}

XML

In my view, if I write:

      <%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.lbmodelno ) %>

in page loads in view source iam getting

XML

<div class="leftcontent">
                         <label for="lbmodelno">lbmodelno</label>
                    </div>

but i need

<label for="lbmodelno"></label>

so label should be empty when page load. it also override value iam getting from database.

Thanks for help.

Solution 1

Add an attribute DisplayName() which is in the namespace using System.ComponentModel; like below

C#

public class Person
{
[DisplayName("")]
public string lbmodelno { get; set; }}
}

Hope this helps

in page load it work fine but i kept one button when button is clicked it getting value from database and assign value to label in that time to it showing blank. how to avoid this??? i want value to shown in label when button is clicked.

why you are posting label value?

Please use the appropriate control for your requirement. Label is for providing a label for particular control. for displaying a text from the db use Html.DisplayFor()
