Hello,

In a form I manage to run the following code with this line:

How to replace this line with this one:

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Tel, new { @value = "@Session["Tel"]@Request.Form["Tel"]", @class = "form-control" })

@ Html.TextBoxFor does not accept value ("@Session["Tel"]@Request.Form["Tel"]") !

how to escape # ?

thank you

Accepted answer
Better assign session value in some variable then bind to textbox.

In your case use this
var myvalue=session["Tel"]; // can validate for null value as well
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Property, myvalue.name , new { @class = "form-control" })
However, best way to bind in model as shown:
public ActionResult ExampleAction()
{
     // Build an example model
     var model = new YourModel();
     // Ensure your Session exists
     if(Session["Tel"] != null)
     {
          // Attempt to cast your Session as the appropriate type
          var yourSessionObject = Session["Tel"] as YourObjectType;

          // If that worked, then grab your property
          if(yourSessionObject != null)
          {
                 model.Property = yourSessionObject.YourProperty;
          }
     }

     // Pass the model to the View
     return View(model);
}
And page
@model YourApplication.Models.YourModel


@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Property, new { @class = "form-control" })

I will suggest you to create ViewModel but as per your question
your solution is
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Tel, new {@value = Session["Tel"]+Request.Form["Tel"], @class = "form-control" })
