    text
    copied!<p>I wonder if it's possible to create an extension method which has functionality &amp; behaviour similar to Html.BeginForm(), in that it would generate a complete Html tag, and I could specificy its contents inside <code>&lt;% { &amp; } %&gt;</code> tags.</p> <p>For example, I could have a view like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% using(Html.BeginDiv("divId")) %&gt; &lt;% { %&gt; &lt;!-- Form content goes here --&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; </code></pre> <p>This capability would be very useful in the context of the functionality I'm trying to produce with the example in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2412969/using-generics-to-create-htmlhelper-extension-methods">this question</a></p> <p>This would give me the ability to create containers for the types that I'll be </p> <pre><code>&lt;% var myType = new MyType(123, 234); %&gt; &lt;% var tag = new TagBuilder("div"); %&gt; &lt;% using(Html.BeginDiv&lt;MyType&gt;(myType, tag) %&gt; &lt;% { %&gt; &lt;!-- controls used for the configuration of MyType --&gt; &lt;!-- represented in the context of a HTML element, e.g.: --&gt; &lt;div class="MyType" prop1="123" prop2="234"&gt; &lt;!-- add a select here --&gt; &lt;!-- add a radio control here --&gt; &lt;!-- whatever, it represents elements in the context of their type --&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; </code></pre> <p>I realise this will produce invalid XHTML, but I think there could be other benefits that outweigh this, especially since this project doesn't require that the XHTML validate to the W3C standards.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Dave</p>
