mvc5 html.editorfor,如何在ASP.net MVC 5中使用@ Html.EditorFor自动填充表单中的字段？(How to auto fill fields in a form...

I'm using an autogenerated form from visual studio for asp.net mvc 5 that saves information to a database. It's the create view with the standard scaffolding etc from asp.net with entity framework.

I like the way the form looks, but I need one field (datecreated) to at least be auto filled, (but preferably autofilled and hidden). The problem is I don't understand the autogenerated code at all and my efforts to look it up have not been successful. Nor have my efforts to understand it. I'm still a beginner with html helpers, which I think these are.

Here is the form element I am working with. The part in the middle is the part I need to change to autofill (the date created field), I think the relevant part is changing the EditorFor. but I don't know:

@using (Html.BeginForm())

{

@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

New Patient:

---

@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

... //other form items removed for simplicity

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.DateCreated,"Date Created", htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.DateCreated, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DateCreated, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

... //more items left out for simplicity

}

And the auto generated controller for this part looks like this:

// GET: Subjects/Create

public ActionResult Create()

{

return View();

}

// POST: Subjects/Create

[HttpPost]

[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]

public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "ID,Name,DOB,Male,Female,Address,City,ZIP,PhoneHome,PhoneCell,Email,EmergencyContact,EmergencyContactPhone,EmergencyContactRelationship,ReferredBy,DateCreated,Allergy,AllergyDescription,HighBloodPressure,LowBloodPressure,HeartCondition,Diabetes,Anemia,HighCholesterol,Pacemaker,Epilepsy,Pregnant,Cancer,STD,Pain,PainDescription,Headache,HeadacheDescription,CommonCold,HighBloodPressureConcern,Stress,Depression,Sleep,Menstruation,Fertility,WeightControl,Other")] Subject subject)

{

if (ModelState.IsValid)

{

db.SubjectDatabase.Add(subject);

db.SaveChanges();

return RedirectToAction("Index");

}

return View(subject);

}

If you dont know how I can autofill and or hide the form element datecreated, could you please point me to where I might learn to figure this out myself. I think I am reasonable at programming, I just don't understand html helpers well, or the bind function in the controller.
