using @data-bind in ASP.NET MVC htmlAttributes throws exception

Question

I am using ASP.NET MVC 3.0 and KnockoutJS. I was trying to add the binding into my View Helpers like this ...

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Nam         


        

Answer 1

It doesn't like the hyphen in the property name. To fix this change @data-bind to @data_bind and this will then render with a hyphen on the page.
