[Solved] EditorTemplate with NumericTextBox

[Justin Bigelow]

What is the proper convention for using a NumericTextBox in an Editor Template. I have tried the standard ASP.NET MVC convention with an empty string for the name: 

Html.Telerik().PercentTextBox().Name("").Value(Model)

But I get the following exception:

[ArgumentException: "value" cannot be null or empty.]
   Telerik.Web.Mvc.Infrastructure.Guard.IsNotNullOrEmpty(String parameter, String parameterName) +142
   Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.ViewComponentBase.set_Name(String value) +21

I can give the control a name like: Html.Telerik().PercentTextBox().Name("RateQuote_QualRate").Value(Model) but then the model binding only works for that particular field and it's not a true template.

I'm using release 2011.2.712

Thank you.

Use a template similar to this:

@model double

@(Html.Telerik().NumericTextBox()
        .Name(ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(string.Empty))
        .InputHtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100%" })
        .Value(Model)
)

This gets the control name from ViewData.

Kind regards
