class = "col-2" > class = "form-control form-control-sm" >@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.PTWContent.PTWNo) I want to have the textbox color yellow if there is no data retrieved from the database and to display "N/A". Is possible?

You can put if condition like this. div class = "col-2" > @if(Mode.PTWContent.PTWNo!=null){ span class = "form-control form-control-sm" > @Html.DisplayFor( model = > model.PTWContent.PTWNo) span > } else { span class = "form-control form-control-sm" > NA span > } div >

Got it, thank you Yogeshkumar, I used the following code class = "col-2" > @ if (Mode.PTWContent.PTWNo== null ){ class = "form-control form-control-sm bg-warning" >N/A } class = "form-control form-control-sm" >@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.PTWContent.PTWNo)

the best way is to define business rule for it Public Class YourClass { public string PtwContenet {get;set;} private string _Color ; public string Color get{_color=value;} set{ if (PtwContent==null){ _Color= "Yellow" ; } else { _color=value; } now in html something In this way you do not need to worry about color anymore also if in future you need to change color then insted of changing UI you can manipulate through Class property.
