How can I create custom HTML helpers in ASP.NET MVC?

To create custom HTML helpers in ASP.NET MVC, you can define a static method in a static class. This method should return an IHtmlContent object.

Can you give me an example of a custom HTML helper?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public static class HtmlHelpers
{
    public static IHtmlContent CustomButton(this IHtmlHelper htmlHelper, string text)
    {
        return new HtmlString($"<button>{text}</button>");
    }
}

How do I use this custom helper in my Razor view?

You can use it in your Razor view like this:

@Html.CustomButton("Click Me")

Are there any best practices for creating custom helpers?

Yes, keep your helpers focused on a single task, ensure they are reusable, and consider performance implications.
