.net mvc Display field in view only if it has a value
asp.net-mvc
Solution
For the bold style you can use this bit of code in your view, but of course it's proper to use an external style sheet.
<style type="text/css">
.telephone{
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
You can do the check for null in your view and conditionally display the data:
@if (Model.FomattedTelephone != null)
{
<div class="telephone">
@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.FormattedTelephone)</div>
}
Problem
I have some Customer Details and I only want to show fields which have a value. For example if Telephone is null don't show it. I currently have in my view model ``` public string FormattedTelephone { get { return string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.Telephone) ? " " : this.Telephone; } } ``` And in my view ``` @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.FormattedTelephone) ``` This is working correctly, however, I would like to show the Field Name if the field has a value e.g. Telephone: 02890777654 If I use `@Html.DisplayNameFor` in my view it shows the field name even if the field is null. I also want to style the field name in bold and unsure of where I style it - the view or the view model.
