Do you use Html Helpers and Partial Views to simplify Views?
Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 7 months ago.See historyRepeated sections of User Interface should be encapsulated in either Html Helpers or Partial Views to avoid repetition.
<div class="featured">
@if (ViewData.ContainsKey("FeaturedProduct"))
{
<span class="ProductName">@ViewBag.FeaturedProduct.Name</span>
<span class="ProductPrice">@ViewBag.FeaturedProduct.Price</span>
}
</div>Figure: Bad example – The above code could be encapsulated into a Partial View for reuse
public static class DateExtensions
{
public static MvcHtmlString GetTodayDate(this System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper helper)
{
return new MvcHtmlString(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
}
}
@Html.GetTodayDate()Figure: Good example – Using an HTML Helper extension method for reusable code
@Html.Partial("_FeaturedProduct")Figure: Good example – Using a Partial View for reusable sections of UI
