Why is @Html.Label() removing some characters
asp.net-mvc-3, razor
Solution
You are misusing the Html.Label method. It is for:
Returns an HTML label element and the property name of the property that is represented by the specified expression.
That's why it gets confused if you have a point `.` in the first parameter because it expects a property expression there.
However, you can use the second overload:
@Html.Label("", String.Format("{0}. someText",1))
Or just write out the HTML:
<label>@String.Format("{0}. someText", 1)</label>
Problem
When I use the following code in my razor view it renders `<label for=""> someText</label>` and not `<label for="">1. someText</label>` but I can't figure out why `1.` is removed while rendering. ``` @Html.Label(String.Format("{0}. someText",1)) ``` Edit: The following code renders `<label for="">1# someText</label>` as expected. ``` @Html.Label(String.Format("{0}# someText",1)) ```
