MVC razor syntax for accessing a static model member

For MVC razor, what is the syntax on the .cshtml page to access a static model member (variable), for example,

@Html.DisplayFor(@(myNameSpace.myClass.myStaticVarName))

I did this after being warned by the auto-complete to use the type specifier instead of an instance element.

However, the above throws a run-time error:

Compiler Error Message: CS1646: Keyword, identifier, or string expected after verbatim specifier: @

Solution

  • You cannot use the template helpers (Display, DisplayFor, EditorFor, etc.) because they all have a hidden parameter which is the model given to the view.

    To display just the value of the class variable, use @myNameSpace.myClass.myStaticVarName
