Remarks

This method is typically used to display values from the object that is exposed by the Model property. For more information about the differences between this method and the other Display methods, see the DisplayExtensions class overview.

The htmlFieldId parameter is used with HTML input when two properties in the model have the same name. In order to bind two properties that have the same name, the htmlFieldId parameter is used to specify the binding parameter name for each property.
