How do I create a hidden field in MVC3?

Question

I'm using MVC3. When I make a field with

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.RowKey) 

Then the value gets sent back to the controller which is what I need. However I don't want the field to be visible even though I want its value to be returned to the controller.

Is there a way I can make a field hidden with MVC3?

Answer 1

@Html.HiddenFor(model => model.RowKey) 

see What does Html.HiddenFor do? for an example

Answer 2

If you want to keep Html.EditorFor(), you could always mark a particular property of your model as hidden:

using System.Web.Mvc.HiddenInput;  public class Model {     [HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]     // some property }
