HTML helpers in MVC

HTML helpers in MVC

MVC includes standard helpers for the most common types of HTML elements.

HTML helpers are more lightweight. Unlike Web Form controls, an HTML helper does not have an event model and a view state

For example 

@Html.ActionLink("About this Website", "About")

The Html.ActionLink() helper above, outputs the following HTML:

< a href="/Home/About" > About this Website< / a >
