- #874 lines 3, 4, and 6
- correct `Value()` to treat a `null` expression name the same as `string.Empty`
- add missing `[NotNull]` attributes in `EditorExtensions` and for `GenerateIdFromName()`
- consistently pass `null` for default expression names to the helpers
- for example, from extension methods
- add test cases using `null` for expression name
nits:
- correct summary XML comment for `HtmlHelper` class
- use named parameters and prefer interface (not extension) methods in changed calls
- use `string.Empty` instead of `""` in a few tests
- fix problems at least with Roslyn compiler and VS IntelliSense or the Object Browser
- `<see langref="keyword"/>` generates nothing
- `<example>` at top level (outside `<summary>`) generates nothing
- curly braces don't become angle brackets outside `<see cref="reference"/>` references
- yeah, a point @yishaigalatzer asked about in a previous PR
- `<see href="reference"/>` is not valid
- correct some invalid use of angle brackets and remove useless empty elements
- correct unresolved XML comment references; generally, add namespace prefix
Symptoms for some of the above issues included
- generated XML comments such as `<!-- Badly formed XML comment ... -->`, usually indicating an unclosed element
- generated XML attributes such as `cref="!:..."`, indicating a broken reference
- in a couple of cases we had `<typeparamref cref="TOption"/>`; attribute should be `"name"`
Few wording changes beyond
- `"opening </form> tag"` -> `"<form> start tag"`
- `"closing </form> tag"` -> `"</form> end tag"`
Also correct two typos in `HtmlHelper`
Will create a unit test to ensure XML syntax doesn't degrade going forward. Separate PR.
- for now, check using `dir -r *.xml | sls '!'`
- fixes#566 and part of #847
- allows compositions such as `@Html.Label("property", Html.Id("property"))`
and `@Html.Raw(Html.DisplayText("property"))` (this one is not recommended)
- adjust XML comments to match
- add missing XML comments to `HtmlHelperValueExtensions`
- nit: `TInnerModel` -> `TModelItem`
- increase XML comment consistency for changed methods
- generally make wording more consistent e.g. how we use words such as
"returns"
- use `<see langref="string|true|false|null"/>` more
- no more `IHtmlHelper<object>` in `DefaultDisplayTemplates` and also no
need for `ViewDataDictionary<object>` in a few places
- mostly removals from `IHtmlHelper<TModel>` but did cleanup comments and
add `[NotNull]` for `DisplayFor()`, `DisplayNameFor()`,
`DisplayNameForInnerType()`, and `LabelFor()`
- also add `[NotNull]` for `this` and `Expression` parameters in some
extension methods
