 To create the html for a textbox with id = “fullName” and name =

“fullName”
o <input type=”text” name = “fullName” id = “fullName”>

OR
 We can use the “TextBox” Html helper class method.
o @Html.TextBox(“fullName”)

 There are several overloaded versions. To set a value, along with name of a
textbox
o @Html.TextBox(“fullName”,”Adil”)

To set HTML attributes, use the following overloaded version. Note that: We are
passing HTML attributes (style and title) as an anonymous type.

 We can use external style sheet to give the style to the textbox.
 Applying bootstrap class to textbox.
 If you want to use attributes that are reserved in Csharp programming
language like class, readonly etc. Then you have to use @ symbol before
the name of attribute.

 IS IT COMPULSORY TO USE HTML HELPERS?

o No, you can type the required html, but using html helpers will greatly
reduce the amount of HTML markup that we have to write in a view.
Views should be as simple as possible.
