html-helper

I have a problem with MVC3 I'm trying to use @Html.ActionLink() to generate a Link for titles in my blog project. Using constant strings in ActionLink works just dandy, but if I use Posts.Title (the Title of the current Post model being looped), I get this exception: CS1973: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' has no applicable method named 'ActionLink' but appears to have an extension method by that name.

How can I add inline html elements inside a label with Html.Label? Looks like a good scenario for a custom helper: public static class LabelExtensions { public static MvcHtmlString LabelFor<TModel, TProperty>( this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, Expression<Func<TModel, TProperty>> ex, Func<object, HelperResult> template ) { var htmlFieldName = ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(ex); var for = htmlHelper.ViewContext.ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldName(htmlFieldName); var label = new TagBuilder("label"); label.Attributes["for"] = TagBuilder.CreateSanitizedId(for); label.InnerHtml =

I'd prefer to reference the Label by an ID rather than wrapping the Label within a block (i.e. div) and then styling the block.

I want to create a helper that i can add content between the brackets just like Helper.BeginForm() does. I wouldnt mind create a Begin, End for my helper but it's pretty simple and easy to do it that way. basically what i am trying to do is wrapping content between these tags so they are rendered already formatted something like @using Html.Section("full", "The Title") { This is the content for this section <p>More content</p> @Html.TextFor("text","label") etc etc etc } the parameters "full" is the css id for that div and "the title" is the title of the section.

Currently I am using a Html.EditorFor control in a default 'Create' View page like this. <%: Html.EditorFor(model => model.IsActive) %> I would like to convert this to a drop down with values and still be binded to the model in the view. My question is two fold. If there are only 2/3 values needed in the drop down..Is there a quick way to explicitly populate 2 or 3 values? If the list is big and needs to come from a sql query, how to do this? Thanks in advance for the help.
