The helper creates the html required (an unordered list, some classes for first element, current element, last element, dead element and separators etc) All working nice, but I do this by ...
Is there any way to (unit) test my own HtmlHelpers? In case when I'd like to have custom control (rendered by HtmlHelper) and I know requierements for that control how could I write tests first - and then write code? Is there a specific (nice) way to do that? Is it worth? ...

After tinkering around to solve [this][1] problem, I think the core of the problem is the following: When you use the Html.RadioButton() html helper with an Enum as value field, you can only choose your option once. AFter reposting the page, the helpers will ignore the value set in the call and set all radio buttons to the same value, b...

On a related post I mentioned that I have found custom HTML helpers to be just that, helpful, when developing. For instance, when I need paging for a "grid" I have a custom helper that I can call --> Html.Pager() Some have made a point that HTML helpers are a violation of the MVC model. Personally, I don't see it being any different t...

There has been a lot of discussions on View-engines for ASP.NET MVC and some criticisms against the inline "tag-soup" with for-loops and thing like it. The alternative or complement has been to use HTML-helpers, which are just inline method-calls. When I look inside ASP.NET MVC's HTML-helpers today they are using a class called TagBuil...

I am playing around with the ASP.NET MVC Html.Helpers and I noticed that say for instance: Html.Textbox("test"); will render the name attribute to "name=test" and the id tag will be "id=test" But when I do this: <%= Html.TextBox("go", null, new { @name = "test2", @id = "test2", @class = "test2" })%> id will be "id=test2" but name...
It is quite possible that I may not have got the point, but I really can't figure out how ASP.Net MVC's HTML Helpers can help me.
