I have defined a custom html attribute "data-something-something". In my view I use an Html extension method to create for instance a text box. One of the parameters is an anonymous object HtmlAttributes
. I want to pass this value: new { data-something-something = "value" }
. However, data-something-something
is not recognized by .NET as a property name because of the hyphens.
I changed it to dataSomethingSomething
for now, but I would like to define my custom attribute according to the HTML 5 standard (i.e. prefix it with 'data-').
I had a similar problem before when trying to do new { class = "class-name"}
on the class property. For this case I found that I can prefix class
with an '@' symbol to make it work (i.e. new { @class = "class-name"}
). Because there is a solution for this scenario, I hoped that there might be a solution for my current problem (prefixing it with an '@' did not work).
Thanks in advance.
