Adding a CSS class to razor @Html.DisplayFor

Question

I want to set a new class for this part of my code, but it doesn't work correctly

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.melk.Code, new { @class = "myClass" } )

Can anyone tell me where am I wrong?

Answer 1

Boris showed you the correct overload, but there is also the dead simple way to just change it to:

<span class="myClass">
    @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.melk.Code)
</span>

Personally, I find it simpler, so easier to remember and maintain, even if it's not so framework-specific.
