HTMLAttributes and anonymous types

[jonathan]

Hi all,

Please consider this dropdownlist code:
When using HtmlAttributes what do I do if my anonymous member name is a c# reserved word and a valid HTML attribute? (eg 'class')?  This wont compile (obviously)  how do I set the 'class' htmlattribute? 

I dont want to add the class dynamically based on the ID of the DOM element if I dont have to.......
$("WorkFlowEventTypeId").attr("class","sparseboundcombo);

.HtmlAttributes(new { class= "sparsebounddropdown"})          - does not work... how to set class?         

<%= Html.Telerik().DropDownListFor(o => o.WorklflowEventTypeId)
    .DataBinding(binding => binding.Ajax().Select("_WorklflowEventLoading", "Workflow"))
    .ClientEvents(events => events.OnOpen("rebindCombo"))
    .Name("WorkflowEventTypeId")
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "sparsebounddropdown"})                   
%>

try to use "@class" instead of "class"

example:
.HtmlAttributes(new { @class= "sparsebounddropdown"})

Ooops my bad...

Sorry my bad.  Not sure how this actually works:


  .HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "adminInput" })                                  

    .DropDownHtmlAttributes( new { @class = "adminInput"})

    .BindTo(ViewData["SpecificationAttributes"] as SelectList)

in c#, prefix "@" enable the use of keywords as identifiers, for example @bool, @int, @public and @class.
and "@" itself is not actually a part of identifier, in your case
.HtmlAttributes(new { @class = "adminInput" })
result of @class identifier is actually rendered without "@".
