Ultimately I would like to have calculated fields like Weight * Price.
Suppose I have in my MVC3 view:
@Html.TextBoxFor(modelItem => item.Package.USDKg)
@Html.HiddenFor(modelItem => item.Pricing.VolumePrice)
Am I able to calculate these directly? Or resort to JQuery?
I would really like to keep pricing "hidden" even in source view if possible.
Basically, when a user enters their package weight, a price would be displayed (calculated off of hidden price point values).
Thank you for your guidance.
Having a razor, you could do a logic just inside the mark up!
@{
var value = model.Item.Value;
var price = model.Item.Proce;
var calculated = value * price;
}
<div class="price>Your price: @calculated</div>
More info is here:

Yes, you could do it like this:
function calculate(){
var weight = parseFloat($("#Package_USDKg").val());
var price = parseFloat($("#Pricing_VolumePrice").val());
var calculus = weight * price;
$("#calculus").text(calculus); //This shows the calculated field
}
$(document).ready(function(){
calculate(); //Calculate on page load
$("#Package_USDKg").change(calculate); //Calculate every time weight changes
});
I'm assuming you have a div with id="calculus"
to show the calculated field.
Hope this helps. Cheers
