How to concatenate the id of the HTML element using Razor ASp.NET MVC

Question

I have a grid column with checkboxes and I want to give them a different id. Id is based on the CustomerId in the Model. What syntax should I use to concatenate the [email protected].

// using the telerik grid 
id="[email protected]"  // does not work 

// this will put the value of @item.Customernumber as the checkbox id

columns.Template(@<text><input type='checkbox' id="@item.Customernumber" name="@item.CustomerNumber" value="@item.OrderNumber" /></text>).Width(50)

second option:

columns.Template(@<text><input type='checkbox' id="[email protected]" name="@item.CustomerNumber" value="@item.OrderNumber" /></text>).Width(50)

the above will render as

<input type="checkbox" id="[email protected]" value=... />

How do you conclude "does not work", what is happening. From the code you post, I cannot see if this is from your View or controller. Post just a little more (wrapping {} or <tag> would be nice to get the context). – Style

Answer 1

[email protected] will not work because razor thinks of it as of an e-mail, you need to do it like this instead: chk_@(item.OrderNumber)

it appends '(' as well in data – Pierides

This does works now in latest MVC:
