asp.net mvc 3 - control name in TextBoxFor in MVC3

Question

Is it possible to control the name attribute of say a text boxt when using TextBoxFor?

this code in the view

@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.SearchParams.someParam)

produce this

<input id="SearchParams_someParam" name="SearchParams.someParam" type="text" value="">

but I do not want my input name to be "SearchParams.someParam" and I wanted that to be something like

<input id="SearchParams_someParam" name="MyPreferedName" type="text" value="">

where the MyPreferedName comes from from some attributes the .SearchParams.someParam in the corresponding model.

Is this possible? I know @Html.TextBox does it but I do not want to hardcode the name in the view.

Answer 1

@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.attr, new { Name = "txt1" })

Just Use "Name" instead of "name"
