LMB.HtmlHelperExtensions 1.0.1

HTML Helper Extensions

To make it easier to add content to a view, you can take advantage of something called an HTML Helper. An HTML Helper, typically, is a method that generates a string. You can use HTML Helpers to generate standard HTML elements such as textboxes, links, dropdown lists, and list boxes.

All of the HTML Helpers methods are called on the Html property of the view. For example, you render a TextBox by calling the Html.TextBox() method.

Using HTML Helper methods is optional. They make your life easier by reducing the amount of HTML and script that you need to write.

How it works?

The ASP.NET MVC framework includes a useful utility class named the TagBuilder class that you can use when building HTML helpers. The TagBuilder class, as the name of the class suggests, enables you to easily build HTML tags.

This extension provides two new HTML helpers:

• Html.Button() to render an HTML button element with an Icon Font inside.
• Html.LinkButton() to render an HTML link element (using the a href tag) with an Icon Font inside that will be rendered like a button.
