MVC3 - 3 decimal places on type double with leadin

问题:

I have a field for weight in Kgs (type double or use something else??). In edit view I would like the user to enter numbers to the thousandth place. In display view I would like the Kgs to appear like 560.250

Trying to learn MVC3 + Razor. Willing to explore JQuery, use of regular expressions, validators, view templates, view models...

The "magic" of MVC based on conventions takes getting used to. Confused as to which approach to use.

Thank you in advance for your help.

You could use data annotations on your view model:

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:#,##0.000#}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public double? Weight { get; set; }

and in your view

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.Weight)

will properly format the value in the input field.

Another possibility is to write a custom editor template for the double type (~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/double.cshtml):

@model double?
@Html.TextBox("", Model.HasValue ? Model.Value.ToString("#,##0.000#") : "")

and then in your view:

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.Weight)

or if you don't want to override all templates for all double types in your application you could put this into some custom template location like ~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/MyFormattedDouble.cshtml and then in your view:

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.Weight, "MyFormattedDouble")

Personally I prefer the first approach which uses data annotations to control the format of the double values.

回答2:

To format the number just use

 @string.Format("{0:0.00}", Model.Weight);

or

 @Html.DisplayFor(x => string.Format("{0:0.00}", x.Weight));
 @Html.EditorFor(x => string.Format("{0:0.00}", x.Weight));

to Validate

public class Model
{
    [Required]
    public double Weight{ get; set; }
}

I wouldn't constrain the precision they put in, just make sure that it is a valid number using javascript. You might also constrain input to only include numbers and a period.

If the user puts in something wrong (i.e. not compatible with a double type), MVC will complain when it tries to bind to the model.

its very simple follow this method

so you have to insert DataFormatString="{0:#,##0.000#Kg}" only on gridview
