Customize EditorFor or any XXXXFor

Question

Whenever I use @Html.EditorForModel() following the standard template is displayed in asp.net mvc

Default in Asp.net MVC template

<div class="editor-label">
  <label for="[MY-PROPERTY]">MY-PROPERTYNAME</label>
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
  <input id="[MY-PROPERTYID]" name="MY-PROPERTYNAME" type="text" value=""> 
  <span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-for="MY-PROPERTYNAME" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span>
</div>

I would like to customize the format of this HTML!!

But attention!!!!!

1. I know this feature -> @Html.EditorForModel("MY-TEMPLATE")
2. I know this feature -> @Html.EditorFor(p => p.MY-PROPERTY, "MY-TEMPLATE")
3. I know this feature -> Views\{CONTROLLER}\EditorTemplates\{CLASSNAME\TYPE}
4. I know this feature -> Views\Shared\EditorTemplates\{CLASSNAME\TYPE}

My goal is to modify the default template for the entire project!

Without having to travel the entire project for this!

• When using @Html.EditorForModel(), each property will generate a HTML customized!!

New template

The new template would be something like this:

<div class="control-group">
    @Html.LabelFor(p => p.PROPERTY, new { @class = "control-label" })
    <div class="controls">
        @Html.EditorFor(p => p.PROPERTY)
        <span class="help-inline"></span>
    </div>
</div>

You could create Object.cshtml template to your Views\Shared\EditorTemplates\ folder and @Html.EditorForModel() will use that template if it cannot find more specific one (for example template named classname.cshtml)
