How do I set the value to a model value in a template?

[Daniel]

I have a popup editor template with an editor in it and I'm trying to figure out how to set the value to the model field value. I have :

@(Html.Kendo().Editor()
      .Name("Body")
      .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 590px;height:440px" })
      .Value(@Model.Body)
)

But that does not work. Anyone know the answer?

Hello Daniel,

Basically, this happens through an MVVM value binding, which is generated according to the widget's name. I would suggest using a strongly typed View and the EditorFor helper, which assigns a name matching the used field. For example: 

@model MyModel

@(Html.Kendo().EditorFor(m=>m.SomeTextField)
      .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 590px;height:440px" })
)
