c# - How do I format decimal as Percentage in EF Code First rendered in Razor TextBoxFor? -

i have property:

    public decimal myproperty { get; set; } 

and here render:

    @html.textboxfor(m => m.myproperty , new { @class = "percentage" }) 

how do percentage?

you decorate view model property [displayformat] attribute allowing specify format:

[displayformat(applyformatineditmode = true, dataformatstring = "{0:p2}")] public decimal myproperty { get; set; } 

and in view:

@html.editorfor(x => x.myproperty) 

but careful because displayformat attribute (as name suggests) used displaying purposes. not used default model binder. when user submits value posting form chances validation error because example 0.45% not valid decimal value. have illustrated in this post how custom model binder defined use format defined displayformat attribute when binding value.
