The code below works fine but, in the textbox the decimal value has this format "0,0000"
(, is the decimal separator). I'd like have only 2 decimal. How can I do this ?
Thanks,
//Database model used with NHibernate
public class Bank
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string FirstName { get; set; }
public virtual string LastName{ get; set; }
public virtual decimal Amount { get; set; }
}
//MVC Model
public class MyModel
{
public Bank Bank { get; set; }
}
//View
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Bank.Amount, new { id = "tbAmount"})
Update 1
In the debugger, I don't see any decimal, wehn I do step by step inside (o @HTML.Textbofor) the view, the value does not have any decimal but when the page is displayed there are 4 decimals
//Database model used with NHibernate
public class Bank
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string FirstName { get; set; }
public virtual string LastName{ get; set; }
public virtual decimal Amount { get; set; }
}
//Class for view
public class ViewBank
{
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:n2}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public decimal Amount { get; set; }
}
//MVC Model
public class MyModel
{
public Bank Bank { get; set; }
var ViewBank = new ViewBank() { Amount = Bank.Amount};
}
//View
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Amount, new { id = "tbAmount"})
I would use editor templates and I would not use my NHibernate domain models in my views. I would define view models which are specifically tailored to the requirements of the given view (in this case limiting the amount to 2 decimals):
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:n2}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public decimal Amount { get; set; }
and then:
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Bank.Amount)
This works for me
@Html.TextBox("Amount", String.Format("{0:0.00}", Model.Bank.Amount), new { id = "tbAmount"})
EDIT:
This is for TextBoxFor (does not work on MVC3)
@{var formated = String.Format("{0:0.00}", Model.Bank.Amount);}
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Bank.Amount, formated, new { id = "tbAmount"})
In MVC 4 you can now pass the format as the second parameter
//View
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Bank.Amount, "{0:n2}", new { id = "tbAmount"})
If you don't have customized editor template for Decimal
type then EditorFor
decorated with DisplayFormatAttribute
would probably work out of the box.
For a custom editor template I ended up using something like:
@model decimal?
@{
string displayValue;
if (Model == null)
{
displayValue = null;
}
else {
var formatString = (ViewData.ModelMetadata).DisplayFormatString;
displayValue = formatString == null ? Model.ToString() : string.Format(formatString, Model);
}
}
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(c => c)
@Html.TextBoxFor(c => c, new { type = "text", Value = displayValue, @class = "form-control" })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(c => c)
</div>
Which works when the property is decorated with DisplayFormatAttribute
like so:
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:n1}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true), Display(Name = "Commission")]
public decimal? CommissionPercentage { get; set; }
