- part of #1243 (kind-of)
- mostly copied from `HtmlHelper` but refactored to
- consistently take a `ViewContext` parameter and return a `TagBuilder`
- provide `GenerateActionLink()` and `GenerateRouteLink()`
- provide a separate `GenerateHiddenForCheckBox()`, allowing
`GenerateCheckBox()` to return a `TagBuilder`
- `GenerateForm()`'s `method` parameter is a `string`, not `FormMethod`
nits: format document, consistent line wrapping, variable name changes, ...
Fix: The MvcOptions takes in a list of ExcludeFromValidationDelegate (Func<Type,bool>). This func verifies if the type is excluded in validation or not.
- #965
- test call-throughs from `Html.Editor[For]()` to inner `IHtmlHelper`
- add another parameter to `DefaultTemplatesUtilities.GetHtmlHelper()`
nit: reorder dictionaries at the top of `TemplateRenderer` slightly
Fix: Using TypeConverter solves this problem.
-Issue #1123 - TypeConverterModelBinder cannot bind "byte" and "short".
Fix: Modified code to use TypeConverter which can handle these scenarios.
-Removing the GetConverterDelegate method and making the code similar to the WebApi.
1) Expose the simplified relative path template by cleaning up constraints, optional and catch all tokens from the template.
2) Expose the parameters on the route template as API parameters.
3) Combine parameters from the route and the action descriptor when the parameter doesn't come from the body. #886 will refine this.
4) Expose optionality and constraints for path parameters. Open question: Should we explicitly expose IsCatchAll?
Html.PartialAsync
* Introducing StringCollectionTextWriter to buffer the contents of
PartialAsync
* Ensure DecorateWriter is called for partial views
Fixes#1266
Adds the set of CreateResponse/CreateErrorResponse extension methods that
return an HttpResponseMessage.
For the overloads that perform content negotiation they will access the
collection of MediaTypeFormatters through the shim options. Note that
CreateResponse and friends use the OLD formatters.
Also, HttpError and CreateErrorResponse assume ErrorDetail == false. Using
the shim you will not get detailed error messages unless you construct the
HttpError instance yourself.
