Helper Classes and Members for Rendering Views

When you create views, many tasks are repetitive or require special MVC framework knowledge. To address these scenarios and to make it easier to render HTML, the MVC framework includes helper classes and members. The design for helper classes is extensible so that you can add custom helper classes and members.

The MVC framework includes the following helpers:

-> Form helpers, which are for form elements such as radio buttons, list boxes, select buttons, text boxes, text areas, hidden content, and password fields.
-> URL helpers, which let you generate URLs for routing.
-> HTML helpers, which include functions to manage HTML strings, such as Encode, Decode, AttributeEncode, and RenderPartial.

You can access code-based rendering helpers by using properties that are added to the ViewPage, ViewUserControl, and ViewMasterPage classes.
