It seems that Html.Image has moved from System.Web.Mvc into Microsoft.Web.Mvc, and the only way we've found to access the helper now is to add an import statement to every .aspx page that uses it. All the...
I have a strongly-typed MVC View Control which is responsible for the UI where users can create and edit Client items. I'd like them to be able to define the ClientId on creation, but not edit, and this to be reflected in the UI. To this end, I have the following line: <%= Html.TextBox("Client.ClientId", ViewData.Model.ClientId, new {...

Just want to confirm that there is no way to extend or replace Html.Image functionality without writing a replacement function. I want to write a function that will use Amazon's S3 service for hosting images. The best approach I've come up with is a helper method Html.SmartImage which would check a configuration property to see if i wa...
