CreatePerson label { display: inline-block; width: 100px;} .dataElem { margin: 5px;} CreatePerson PersonId First Name Last Name Role Admin User Guest Summary In this chapter, I introduced the concept of helper methods, which you can use in views to generate chunks of content in a reusable way. I started by showing you how to create custom inline and external helpers and then showed you the helpers that are available to create HTML form, input and select elements. In the next chapter, I continue on this theme and show you how to use templated helpers. 578
CHAPTER 22 Templated Helper Methods The HTML helpers that I looked at in the previous chapter, such as Html.CheckBoxFor and Html.TextBoxFor, generate a specific type of element, which means that I have to decide in advance what kinds of elements should be used to represent model properties and to manually update the views if the type of a property changes. In this chapter, I demonstrate the templated helper methods, with which I specify the property I want displayed and let the MVC Framework figure out what HTML elements are required. This is a more flexible approach to displaying data to the user, although it requires some initial care and attention to set up. Table 22-1 provides the summary for this chapter. Table 22-1. Chapter Summary Problem Solution Listing Generate an element that can be used to edit a model property Use the Html.Editor and Html.EditorFor helpers 1–5, 18 Generate labels for and read-only representations of model properties Use the Html.Label and Html.Display helpers 6–8 Generate elements for a complete model object Hide an element from the user when generating elements using a whole-model helper or prevent it from being edited Use the DisplayForModel, EditorForModel and 9–10 LabelForModel helpers Apply the HiddenInput attribute to the property 11–12 Set the label that will be used to display model properties Use the DisplayName and Display attributes 13 Specify the way in which model properties are displayed Use the DataType attribute 14 Specify the template used to display a model property Use the UIHint attribute 15 Define model metadata separately from the model type Create a buddy class and use the MetadataType attribute 16–17 Change the elements that are generated for a model property Create a custom template 19–22 Preparing the Example Project In this chapter I am going to continue using the HelperMethod project that I created in Chapter 21. In that project, I created a Person model class along with a couple of supporting types. As a reminder, I have listed these in Listing 22-1. Listing 22-1. The Contents of the Person.cs File using System; namespace HelperMethods.Models { public class Person { public int PersonId { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; } public Address HomeAddress { get; set; } public bool IsApproved { get; set; } public Role Role { get; set; } 579
