Currency Formatting MVC

by

You could decorate your GoalAmount view model property with the [DisplayFormat] attribute:

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:c}")]
public decimal GoalAmount { get; set; }

and in the view simply:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Project.GoalAmount)

The second argument of the EditorFor helper doesn’t do at all what you think it does. It allows you to pass additional ViewData to the editor template, it’s not htmlAttributes.

Another possibility is to write a custom editor template for currency (~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/Currency.cshtml):

@Html.TextBox(
    "", 
    string.Format("{0:c}", ViewData.Model),
    new { @class = "text-box single-line" }
)

and then:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Project.GoalAmount, "Currency")

or use [UIHint]:

[UIHint("Currency")]
public decimal GoalAmount { get; set; }

and then:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Project.GoalAmount)
