html helpers ASP.NET MVC

HTML helpers in ASP.NET MVC are methods that allow you to generate HTML markup using C# or VB.NET code instead of writing it directly in your view. HTML helpers simplify the process of creating HTML elements that include form controls, input validation, and URL generation.

Here are some examples of HTML helpers in ASP.NET MVC:

1. Form controls:

@Html.TextBox("Name")
@Html.Password("Password")
@Html.TextArea("Description")
@Html.DropDownList("Gender", new SelectList(new[] { "Male", "Female" }))

2. Input validation:

@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
@Html.ValidationSummary()

3. URL generation:

@Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")
@Html.RouteLink("My Profile", "Profile", new { username = User.Identity.Name })

4. Partial views:

@Html.Partial("_MyPartialView", model)
@Html.RenderPartial("_MyPartialView", model)

These are just a few examples of the many HTML helpers available in ASP.NET MVC. HTML helpers are designed to make it easier to create dynamic and interactive web pages, while also helping to ensure that your code is secure and properly formatted.
