Need Help on a custom HTML Helper
- by LeeHull
I'm trying to create a custom HTML Helper to help simplify my masterpages menu, however it is not rendering on the HTML when I use it.. I'm thinking I will need to create a partial view, any ideas?
I did this..
public static string CreateAdminMenuLink(this HtmlHelper helper, string caption, string link)
{
var lnk = TagBuilder("a");
lnk.SetInnerText(caption);
lnk.MergeAttribute("href", target);
return lnk.ToString(TagRenderMode.SelfClosing);
}
Now in my View, i have
<% Html.CreateAdminMenuLink("Home", "~/Page/Home"); %>
but when I look at the source, its empty.. tried adding <% using (Html.BeginForm()) % and it adds a form.. but the link still doesnt come up.. debugged and the string works when i look at the watch, but does not render..
Any ideas?
