Razor Tag vs TagHelper (ID generation)

[Pier-Gilles]

The tag helper for a DatePickerFor   and the Razor Tag for a DatePickerFor generate different ID for their respective control.

 Tag Razor: @(Html.Kendo().DatePickerFor(m => m.testObject.TestSousObject))

Generate : <input id="testObject_TestSousObject" name="testObject.TestSousObject" type="text" value="" /><script>kendo.syncReady(function(){jQuery("#testObject_TestSousObject").kendoDatePicker({"format":"yyyy-MM-dd"});});</script>

Where the Id = testObject_TestSousObject  (with an underscore)

---------------------------

 <kendo-datepicker name="DateComparaisonExamensImagerieAnterieurs" for="ExamensImagerieMedicale.DateComparaisonExamensImagerieAnterieurs" />

Generate :  <input id="testObject.TestSousObject" name="testObject.TestSousObject" type="text" value="" /><script>kendo.syncReady(function(){jQuery("#testObject\\.TestSousObject").kendoDatePicker({});});</script>

Where the Id = testObject.TestSousObject  (with a dot)

Is it something new  with .NET Core compared to MVC? In my mind, both method should generate the same Code and Ids.

 

Note:  I tested it with a entirely new .NET core 2.1 project

Hello,

The tag helpers are in essence different from the html helpers and use a different code base. Thus it is expected to not behave in the same exact manner. However if problems occur due to the different initialization we would gladly assist you to resolve them. That said I would kindly like to ask are there any issues when using the tag helper with the provided configuration?
