MVC3 why use html.editorfor

Question

I look at examples of the MVC3 razor and see that html.editor is being used, and also asked a lot about this forum. Why can't I use html.textboxforand passwordfor? Thanks

Answer 1

EditorFor has the advantage of trying to display an editor associated with a data type.

For example: if you create your own Editor Templates , they will be automatically displayed based on the property type or UIHint

A useful editor template may be one that generates a date picker when the property type is DateTime.

, "" ForFor "" , , <textarea> MultilineText

TextBoxFor PasswordFor , " ". HtmlAttributes.
