Is it possible to set type of input generated by TextBoxFor

Question

I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 TextBoxFor in a form and would like to use type=\"email\" for easier input for at least some mobile devices but cannot find how to set it using TextBoxF

Answer 1

[StringLength(50)]
[DataType(DataType.EmailAddress, ErrorMessage = "Invalid Email Address")]
public string EmailAddress { get; set; }

Try to add this. I think it works.
