I have the following code in my view .cshtml
...
<td class="Centrado">
<input class="plato" value="" id="TComida">
</td>
....
and i want to set a value that comes from the controller, the value is from the class Comida the property Price,
....
@model Util.Comida
Util.Comida menu = new Util.Comida();
menu= (Util.Comida)ViewData["Comida"];
....
¿What can i do to set the value menu.Price to my input class="plato" value="" id="TComida" without losing the css styles aplied thx to my class="plato"?
I have checked that the object menu is correctly populated with data from the controller. Sorry for my english and thx in advance.
This isn't really what you should be doing in a view:
@model Util.Comida
Util.Comida menu = new Util.Comida();
menu= (Util.Comida)ViewData["Comida"];
If the model is a Util.Comida then the controller should supply an instance of one to the view. For example, when returning the view in the controller:
var model = new Util.Comida();
// set properties, invoke logic, etc.
return View(model);
Then in the view the model is inherently present in the Model property. So use one of its values, you can reference that property. For example:
<input class="plato" value="@Model.Price" id="TComida">
Or even use an HTML helper to emit the input tag, which can bring more framework functionality with it. Something like this:
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Price, new { id = "TComida", @class = "plato" })
The point is that the controller provides the view with the model, the view doesn't create the model or invoke any logic on it. Code in a view should generally be limited to binding to properties on a model. Actual logic goes in the model, and the controller invokes that logic and provides the resulting model state to the view.
