HTML Helpers are like controls in traditional web forms. But HTML helpers are more lightweight compared to web controls as it does not hold viewstate and events. HTML Helpers returns the HTML string which can be directly rendered to HTML page. Custom HTML Helpers also can be created by overriding "HtmlHelper" class.

-In ASP.NET MVC, HTML Helpers are almost similar to ASP.NET web form controls which are used for modifying the HTML.

-HTML helper does not have an event model and a view state.

-HTML helpers are more lightweight than traditional ASP.NET web forms controls.

-In MVC, custom user defined HTML helpers can be created or we can use the built in HTML helpers.

  • For example ListBox(), BeginForm(),TextBox(), EndForm(), , TextArea(),RadioButton() are built in HTML helpers.
