How do I add placeholder text from the model into a MVC view?

Question

I have a model:

[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
[DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = true)]
[Display(Prompt = \"Email Address\")]
public string Email { ge         


        

Answer 1

A little late, but if someone is still looking for it...

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Email, 
new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control input-md",
@placeholder = "Whatever you want as a placeholder" } })

It's perfect and clean!
