Chapter 16. Model Templates > Using Templated View Helpers
16.1. Using Templated View Helpers
The idea of the templated view helpers is that they are more flexible. We don't have to worry about specifying the HTML element we want to represent a model property—we just say which property we want displayed and leave the details to the MVC Framework to figure out. We don't have to manually update our views when we update a view model; the MVC Framework will figure out what is required automatically. As an example, Listing 16-1 shows a simple model types that we will use for demonstrations.
Example 16.1. A Simple Model Class
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; }
}
public class Address {
public string Line1 { get; set; }
public string Line2 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string PostalCode { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}public enum Role {
Admin,
User,
Guest
