如何使用EditorFor在一个字段中使用多个属性？

Question

I have a Customer class:

public class Customer 
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    string Surname { get; set; }
}

How can I use Name and Surname together in one field using Html.EditoFor ?

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Customer.Name + Surename???? , new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })

Answer 1

You can try to add NameWithSurname property to connected Name and Surname value.

public class Customer
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }

    private string _NameWithSurname;

    public string NameWithSurname
    {
        get
        {
            _NameWithSurname = Name + Surname;
            return _NameWithSurname;
        }
        set {
            _NameWithSurname = value;
        }
    }
}
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Customer.NameWithSurname  , new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })

NOTE

Your Surname property might be public , otherwise it only can use in Customer class.

Answer 2

You should either have the name split or combined - don't try to do both.

Suppose you do have a "full name" textbox, the value gets edited, and the user types Billy Bob Thornton . How then will it know how to split back into the first and last name fields?

You need to either use separate text boxes and properties, or use a single "name" property and a single textbox.

It's fine to combine the names when displaying data, but when editing it's more trouble than it's worth.
