html.editorfor css,css - Html.EditorFor How to set bootstrap class and HTML attributes? - Stack Over...

I need to build a input text area with bootstrap styling and some HTML custom attributes. Here is my code:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Comments, new { style = "color: red; width: 400px", @class = "form-control", placeholder = "Enter detailed comments..."), type = "text" })

My model data comes from a viewmodel with the following data annotation:

[DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]

public string Comments{ get; set; }

Unfortunately this doesn´t work as I works if it´s a TextBoxFor. The EditorFor does not get styled, showing on sceen a plain small default HTML.

I wish to know how can I solve that ? I´m using MVC4 and I cannot move to MVC5.1 for now (it´s a requirement. I know MVC5.1 has some improvements on that area).
