Display a readonly field in ASP.NET Core

Question

I am new in ASP.NET Core and would like to ask about displaying a field in w a view. I have a

class Person { 
    public string Name {get; set;} 
    public string Nickname {get; set;} 
}

Typically, in the EditPerson View, I do

<input asp-for="Name" class="form-control" />
<input asp-for="Nickname" class="form-control" />

to display the fields.

But in my EditPerson View I need to display Name as readonly, and Nickname as editable field.

The Name should not be in a textbox(even readonly), but rather in a label or div...

Is there a standard approach to display such fields?

I don't want that the field to be updated back to the model or DB, I need only reading the field.

Answer 1

Output it as HTML with Razor syntax

@Model.Name
<input asp-for="Nickname" class="form-control" />

Note - this will need styling appropriately, or wrapping in <span> tag etc...
