ASP.NET Web Pages - Helpers

Web helpers greatly simplify web development and common programming tasks.

ASP.NET Helpers

ASP.NET helpers are components that can be accessed with just a few lines of Razor code.

You can build your own helpers using Razor syntax in a .cshtml file, or use the built-in ASP.NET helpers.

In the next sections of this tutorial, you will learn how to use Razor helpers.

Here is a brief description of some useful Razor helpers:

WebGrid Helper

The WebGrid helper simplifies the display of data:

Chart Helper

The Chart helper can display various types of chart images with multiple formatting options and labels.

The data displayed by the Chart helper can come from arrays, databases, or files.

WebMail Helper

The WebMail helper provides the ability to send emails using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

WebImage Helper

The WebImage helper provides functions to manage images in web pages.

Keywords: flip, rotate, resize, watermark.

Third-Party Helpers

With Razor, you can use built-in or third-party helpers to simplify tasks such as email, databases, multimedia, social networking, and many other issues (like navigation and web security).

WebMatrix already includes some helpers, and you can also manually install others.

If you have created a website in WebMatrix, follow these steps to install helpers:
