Runtime Scaffolding

In this post i will explain what is Runtime Scaffolding.
Runtime Scaffolding means generating the structure of the view at the runtime based on the models. There are three type of Runtime Scaffolding

• DisplayForModel    Html.DisplayForModel()       Renders a read-only view of the entire model object
• EditorForModel      Html.EditorForModel()         Renders editor elements for the entire model object
• LabelForModel      Html.LabelForModel()           Renders an HTML <label> element referring to the  entire model object

Bellow is the example which explains how you can use Runtime Scaffolding

 Create ProductModel  
 using System;  
 using System.Collections.Generic;  
 using System.Linq;  
 using System.Web;  
 namespace Test1.Models  
 {  
   public class Product  
   {  
     public string Name { get; set; }  
     public string Category { get; set; }  
     public decimal Price { get; set; }  
   }  
 }  
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 Create Controller RuntimeScaffoldingController   
 using System;  
 using System.Collections.Generic;  
 using System.Linq;  
 using System.Web;  
 using System.Web.Mvc;  
 namespace MVC_Grid_Chart.Controllers  
 {  
   public class RuntimeScaffoldingController : Controller  
   {  
     //  
     // GET: /RuntimeScaffolding/  
     public ActionResult RuntimeScaffolding()  
     {  
       return View();  
     }  
   }  
 }  
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 Create A view  
 @model Test1.Models.Product  
 @{  
   ViewBag.Title = "RuntimeScaffolding";  
 }  
 <h2>RuntimeScaffolding</h2>  
 @Html.EditorForModel()  
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 As i have used @Html.EditorForModel() this will desplay the editing option at runtime, In the similar way you can use  
 Html.DisplayForModel()  
 Html.LabelForModel()  

 Output:
