I have a razor template like below. I want to check if the value in the input field is null, put a empty string, if the @UIManager.Member.EMail
has a value, put its value. How can I do that?
Normal Input:
<input name="EMail" id="SignUpEMail" type="text" class="Input"
value="@UIManager.Member.EMail" validate="RequiredField" />
Razor Syntax Attempt:
<input name="EMail" id="SignUpEMail" type="text" class="Input" validate="RequiredField"
value="@(UIManager.Member == null) ? string.Empty : UIManager.Member.EMail" />
The value is shown in the input field is:
True ? string.Empty : UIBusinessManager.MemberCandidate.EMail
If sounds like you just want:
@(UIManager.Member == null ? "" : UIManager.Member.Email)
Note the locations of the brackets is critical; with razor, @(....)
defines an explicit range to the code - hence anything outside the brackets is treated as markup (not code).
This is exactly what the NullDisplayText
property on [DisplayFormat]
attribute is for.
Add this directly on your model:
[DisplayFormat(NullDisplayText="", ApplyFormatInEditMode=true)]
public string EMail { get; set; }
To Check some property of a model in cshtml.
@if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.CUSTOM_PROPERTY))
{
<p>@Model.CUSTOM_PROPERTY</p>
}
else
{
<p> - </p>
}
so best way to do this:
@(Model.CUSTOM_PROPERTY ?? "-")
Use the null conditional operator:
@UIManager.Member?.Email
you don't need attribute when it's value's null
@(UIManager.Member == null ? "" : "value=" + UIManager.Member.EMail)
