Title Body

I'm building my first custom editor template for a text area control. My code so far is - <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<dynamic>" %> <%= Html.TextAreaFor( Model => Model , 2, 30, new { @class = "html", @placeholder = ViewData.ModelMetadata.Watermark }) %> It's not much so far, but it does work. But we need to add a character counter field to show remaining number of characters that the user can type in. I know how to do all the JavaScript to make this work. So to keep naming system same, I'm going to add a control named ".charCounter" to display number of remaining characters left. My problem is that I cannot figure out the correct syntax to be able to retrieve the field name for the model. The final version will look something like (JavaScript omitted) - <%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<dynamic>" %> <%= Html.TextAreaFor( Model => Model , 2, 30, new { @class = "html", @placeholder = ViewData.ModelMetadata.Watermark }) %> <span class="xxx">Remaining characters - <input readonly type="text" name="<fieldName>.charCounter" /> </span>
