Remarks

The InputExtensions class contains methods that extend the HtmlHelper class. Each extension method renders an HTML input element. With the exception of the Password extension method, each extension method can repopulate its values from the posted values by using the ModelState object. The following input element types are available in this class:

Examples

The following example shows how to use the methods of the InputExtensions class. The view displays a text box, a password box, some radio buttons, and some check boxes.

<h2><%= Html.Encode(ViewData("Message")) %></h2>
<br /><br />
<% Using Html.BeginForm("Input", "Home")%>
    Enter your name: <%= Html.TextBox("name") %>
    <br /><br />
    Enter a password: <%= Html.Password("pass") %> (Not actually used.)
    <br /><br />
    Select your favorite color:<br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Blue", true) %> Blue <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Purple", false)%> Purple <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Red", false)%> Red <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Orange", false)%> Orange <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Yellow", false)%> Yellow <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Brown", false)%> Brown <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Green", false)%> Green 
    <br /><br />
    <%= Html.CheckBox("technical") %> I like to read technical books.<br />
    <%= Html.CheckBox("novels") %> I like to read novels.<br />
    <%= Html.CheckBox("comic") %> I like to read comic books.<br /> 
    <br /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<% End Using%>

<h2><%= Html.Encode(ViewData["Message"]) %></h2>
<br /><br />
<% using(Html.BeginForm("Input", "Home")) %>
<% { %>
    Enter your name: <%= Html.TextBox("name") %>
    <br /><br />
    Enter a password: <%= Html.Password("pass") %> (Not actually used.)
    <br /><br />
    Select your favorite color:<br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Blue", true) %> Blue <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Purple", false)%> Purple <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Red", false)%> Red <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Orange", false)%> Orange <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Yellow", false)%> Yellow <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Brown", false)%> Brown <br />
    <%= Html.RadioButton("favColor", "Green", false)%> Green 
    <br /><br />
    <%= Html.CheckBox("technical") %> I like to read technical books.<br />
    <%= Html.CheckBox("novels") %> I like to read novels.<br />
    <%= Html.CheckBox("comic") %> I like to read comic books.<br /> 
    <br /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<% } %>

The following example shows a form. When the user submits the form, the Input action method processes the form data and renders a view.

Function Input(ByVal name As String, ByVal pass As String, _
               ByVal favColor As String, ByVal technical As Boolean, _
               ByVal novels As Boolean, _
               ByVal comic As Boolean) As ActionResult

    ViewData("name") = name
    ViewData("favColor") = favColor

    Dim bookMsg As String = ""
    If (technical) Then bookMsg = "You read technical books.<br />"
    If (novels) Then bookMsg = bookMsg + "You read novels.<br />"
    If (comic) Then bookMsg = bookMsg + "You read comic books."
    ViewData("books") = bookMsg

    Return View()
End Function

public ActionResult Input(string name, string pass, 
    string favColor, Boolean technical, Boolean novels, 
    Boolean comic)
{
    ViewData["name"] = name;
    ViewData["favColor"] = favColor;

    string bookMsg = "";
    if (technical) bookMsg = "You read tehnical books.<br />";
    if (novels) bookMsg += "You read novels.<br />";
    if (comic) bookMsg += "You read comic books.";
    ViewData["books"] = bookMsg;

    return View();
}

In the following example, the view displays the data that was submitted.

<h2>HTML Input Extensions</h2>

<p>Hello, <b><%=Html.Encode(ViewData("name"))%></b></p>

<p>Your favorite color: <b><%=Html.Encode(ViewData("favColor"))%></b></p>

<p><%=ViewData("books")%></p>

<h2>HTML Input Extensions</h2>

<p>Hello, <b><%= Html.Encode(ViewData["name"])%></b></p>

<p>Your favorite color: <b><%= Html.Encode(ViewData["favColor"]) %></b></p>

<p><%= ViewData["books"] %></p>
