Problem with PercentTextBox

[Jose]

Hi,

I'm trying to do something like this in a edit view:

<%: Html.Telerik().PercentTextBox(model => model.Quotation.VAT)
                     .Name("VAT")
                     .Spinners(true)
                     .MinValue(0)
                     .MaxValue(100)
%>

But the "model => model.Quotation.Title" is not working like in other mvc controls like TextBoxFor.
Also I've tried assigning the Value property with .Value(Model.Quotation.VAT) but with no luck.

Could you help me?
Thanks in advanced
Jose

HI,

Maybe you know that HTML extension components in ASP.NET MVC should has "For" in the name if they accepts Func. In other words you can pass Func<> parameter only to Html.TextBoxFor extension rather then Html.TextBox.

After all this said, I think you figure out that you need to use PercentTextBoxFor() extension instead of PercentTextBox.

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much, you are right I lost the For clause.
But I'm continuing with problems. Now my code is like this:

<%: Html.Telerik().PercentTextBoxFor(model => model.Quotation.VAT)
                     .Spinners(true)
                     .MinValue(0)
                     .MaxValue(100)
%>

But this code generate the next error:

CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'decimal' to 'double?'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

I don't understand why, because VAT is a double in my model and not a decimal.
Any clue?
