asp.net mvc 2 - Is it possible to use DisplayFor() from within the EditorFor template control

Question

I am using EditorFor() helper to render edit template in my view and I would like to call the DisplayFor() inside this template to render out the Display template.

Like this

this is inside the /Shared/EditorTemplates/Client.ascx

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<BusinessNext.Models.Ef.Client>" %>
<%: Html.DisplayFor(client=>client) %>

In the DisplayFor template I render out client's properties. DisplayFor template works perfectly fine when called from everywhere else but from EditorFor template it doesn't render out anything. It seems that the DisplayFor() call never actually gets to the DisplayFor template.

Answer 1

I am afraid that the only way is to use a partial:

<%= Html.Partial("~/Views/Home/DisplayTemplates/Client.ascx", Model) %>
