Override EditorForModel Template

Question

You can provide alternate templates for individual types, but is it possible to override the template that wraps the label, field and validation up.

Change:

<div class="editor-label"><label for="Content">Content</label></div>
<div class="editor-field"><input class="text-box single-line" id="Content" name="Content" type="text" value="" /> </div>

To:

<div class="field">
<label for="Content">Content</label>
<input class="text-box single-line" id="Content" name="Content" type="text" value="" /> </div>

You can write an Object.ascx template and perform your own logic.

Thanks for the response. This just overrides the base type. What I'm looking is a why to override the template that contains the label, field and validation template. If that is possible. – Rhadamanthus

It's the Object template that does that. It iterates through each property of an object and renders those three things. Check out Brad Wilson's series on the topic bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/… – Soloma

Beg your pardon. Found the Brad Wilson blog under my own steam. Initially I had been expecting to find a single item template, rather than an iterator template and as a result didn't understand what I was seeing in your example. Thanks again. – Rhadamanthus
