  1. POWhy doesnt <ScaffoldColumn(False)> work?
    text
    copied!<p>Its my understanding that by adding the <strong>ScaffoldColumn(false)</strong> annotation to an property in a class, that property will not added to the view when doing Add View. However even though i have added <strong>scaffoldcolumn false</strong> to properties i dont want added to a Create form, they are still rendered inthe create view. Is <strong>ScaffoldColumn</strong> broken? On page 552 in Pro ASP.NET MVC 3 Framework by Freeman and Sanderson, it states </p> <blockquote> <p>"If we want to exclude a property from the generated HTML, we can use ScaffoldColumn attribute. When the scaffolding helpers see the ScaffoldColumn attribute, they skip over the property entirely; no hidden input elements will be generated and no details of this property will be included in the generated HTML."</p> </blockquote> <p>Also the MVC Music Store PDF on p 77 indicates that the attrtibute will do the same -</p> <blockquote> <p>"Allows hiding fields from editor forms".</p> </blockquote> <p>They add it to the AlbumId property and then when the app is run AlbumId field is not shown in the browser. </p> <p>Is this attr broken?</p> <p>If i change a html helper to DisplayFor it does not appear in the form regardless of whether scaffoldcolumn is present. For example i dont have scaffoldcolumn false on Property PostTitle but if i change <code>@Html.EditorFor(Function(model) model.PostTitle)</code> to <code>displayfor</code> then it does not render regardless of the scaffoldcolumn attr. </p> <p>Also my Create view is strongly typed to <code>@ModelType RiderDesignMvcBlog.Core.Entities.Post</code></p>
