- HtmlHelper service now needs an `IModelMetadataProvider` instance
- make `GetInputTypeString()` private
- use `TextBox()` and `TextBoxFor()` in MVC sample
- throw if `ExpressionMetadataProvider.FromLambdaExpression()` returns `null`
- correct `ArgumentNullOrEmpty` and pass parameter name to
`ArgumentException` constructor
- remove `[SuppressMessage]` attributes
- `AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes` should return an `IDictionary`
- `var`
- remove straggling copyright notices
- wrap long lines (did not reword any comments)
- align a few parameters
- `Name()` is a `virtual` instance method to allow useful derivation
- `NameFor()` is an instance method to avoid adding `GetExpressionName()`
to the public surface; either method could be `virtual`
- `NameForModel()` is an extension method because it's not usefully overridden
- use `Name*()` in sample
- add `IHtmlHelper<T>` and `ICanHasViewContext`
- adjust `HtmlHelper` and `HtmlHelper<T>` to match
- throw if `ViewContext` accessed prior to `Contextualize` call
- XML comments (from old world) all around
Note
- no current need for an `HtmlHelper` copy constructor or `Clone()` method
- expect recursion code to get another injected `IHtmlHelper<T>` and then
"contextualize" that instance with a new `ViewContext`
- move `DynamicObject` derivation up to new `DynamicViewData` class, fixing [WebFx-169](http://projectk-tc:8080/browse/WEBFX-169)
- avoid direct `_data` lookup in previous `TryGetMember()`, fixing [#118](https://github.com/aspnet/WebFx/issues/118)
- rename ViewData -> ViewDataDictionary
Also
- flesh out `IDictionary<string, object>` implementation in `ViewData`
- provide `ViewData` copy constructor that allows TModel to change
- remove `TryGetIndex()` and `TrySetIndex()` implementations; use `ViewData[]` instead
- restore `ViewContext.ViewBag` from legacy MVC
and only use RouteValues (or generically just Dictionary<string, object>).
This is temporary and will change once we get Partials (which are currently just dead code)
For now this will unblock ViewComponents
- use Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.Rendering namespace throughout assembly
Also
- move `IdAttributeDotReplacement` from `TagBuilder` to `HtmlHelper`
- remove commented-out code in `HtmlHelper`
- use `var` and `[NotNull]` more
- `String` -> `string`
- correct Resources references; add missing resources
