Asp.net mvc 2 templates without prefix
Given the following view model:
class DetailsViewModel
{
public HeaderViewModel Header {get;set;}
public FooterViewModel Footer {get;set;}
}
I am using editor template for header view model:
<%: Html.EditorFor(x => x.Header) %>
Editor Template (EditorTemplates / HeaderViewModel.ascx)
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<HeaderViewModel>" %>
<% ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix = ""; %>
<%: Html.EditorFor(x => x.Search) %>
Result:
<input type="text" value="" name="Search" id="Search" />
If I remove the line
<% ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix = ""; %>
result:
<input type="text" value="" name="Header.Search" id="Header_Search" />
Is there another way to achieve the same - render the control names without a prefix?
I was thinking about the helper:
public static MvcHtmlString EditorWithoutPrefix<TModel, TValue>(
this HtmlHelper<TModel> html, TValue value)
{
var htmlHelper =... // create new HtmlHelper<TValue> and set it model to be 'value' argument
return htmlHelper.EditorForModel();
}
and use it:
<%: Html.EditorWithoutPrefix(Model.Header) %>
but it throws exceptions.
Or maybe you know another elegant way to render names without a prefix?
