Specify class attribute of password box in Razor

Question

Does anybody know how to specify class html attribute of password box in Razor?

Here is what I currently have but it throws errors:

@Html.PasswordFor(x => x.Password, new { id="pbPassword", class="loginPassword" })

Thanks

Answer 1

class is a keyword to declare a new class in C#. So you must add @ in this case.

Try this:

@Html.PasswordFor(x => x.Password, new { id="pbPassword", @class="loginPassword" })

Answer 2

Class is a reserved word so you need to prepend it with an "@" to distinguish it from the reserved word, e.g.

@Html.PasswordFor(x => x.Password, new { id="pbPassword", @class="loginPassword" })
