24 Using view components

This chapter covers

• Using view components to generate content that is orthogonal to the main purpose of the application
• Applying view components in views
• Passing data to view components from the parent view
• Using partial views to generate HTML content
• Creating classes that are controllers and view components

I describe view components in this chapter, which are classes that provide action-style logic to support partial views; this means view components provide complex content to be embedded in views while allowing the C# code that supports it to be easily maintained. Table 24.1 puts view components in context.
