I have this code repeated many times in my page
<div>
<span>text</span><br />
<span>text1</span><select></select><span>text2</span>
<input/>
</div>
I dont want to write it every time how can i box it in MVC and pass parameters to it?
you could create an HTML helper that returns that HTML
something like the below:
using System;
namespace MvcApplication1.Helpers
{
public class LabelHelper
{
public static string Label(string target, string text)
{
return String.Format("<label for='{0}'>{1}</label>", target, text);
}
}
}
You can create partial view and have a ViewModel which has all those information which you are showing. Wherever you want to use this content, call the partial view with the ViewModel.
@model MyBoxContent
<div>
<span>@Model.Text1</span><br />
<span>@Model.Text1</span><select></select><span>@Model.Text2</span>
<input/>
</div>
and have a view model called "MyBoxContent"
public class MyBoxContent
{
public string Text1{ set; get; }
public string Text2{ set; get; }
}
Have this ViewModel as the property of your other ViewModel from where you want to show and call the Partial View with that.
@Html.Partial("BoxData", Model.MyBoxContent);
So you can use a partialView and just render it.
@Html.Partial("SomePartialView", DataYouPlanOnPassingIn)
also don't forget to put your model at the top of the partial view so you can start using it:
@model System.String
