How do I conditionally show a field in ASP.NET MVC Razor?

Question

I am very new to C# and ASP.NET MVC Razor. I want to show a field in my view if the field is not blank.

Code

Answer 1

Simply wrap this field in if condition

@if (Model.phone2=="")
{
    
}
else
{
    
}
            
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.phone2)
            
            
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.phone2)
            
            
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.phone2)
            
        

alternatively, you can simply skip the entire rendering of field like this

@if (Model.phone2!="")
{

    
        
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.phone2)
            
            
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.phone2)
            
            
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.phone2)
            
        
}

Which is a better approach as it removes the field entirely from the dom object so removes any possibility of being edited later.
