but the field will not be disabled ,, can anyone adivce please? THanks

Answer 1

@Html.EditorFor() does not have an overload to support htmlAttributes. You could try @Html.TextBoxFor()

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.propertyName, new {disabled= "disabled" }) 

If you are using system key words such as class in htmlAttributes please add @ before the attribute name.

Ex:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.propertyName, new {@class = "disabledClass" }) 

Answer 2

Using MVC 5, @Html.EditorFor() supports htmlAttributes

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.x, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control", @disabled = "disabled" } }) 

The above example shows how you can add a class and also the disabled attribute
