I thought this would be a quick search on google but maybe I’m missing something. Is there a way, using Data Annotations, to set a ViewModel property to create a HiddenInput when the markup get rendered?
The only annotations I’ve found were to hide the property from the view entirely, I still want the property rendered but as a hidden input.

Method 1
This property:
[System.Web.Mvc.HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public int Id { get; set; }
will be rendered as i.e.
<input id="Id" name="Id" type="hidden" value="21" />
when using Html.EditorForModel() or Html.EditorFor(m => m.Id)
