- #944
- name `string` expression name and `Expression<Func<TModel, TResult>>`
parameters "expression"
- single special case is `GenerateIdFromName(string fullName)` since every
other expression name is relative to the current
`ViewData,TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix` value
- applied from `IHtmlHelper` and `IHtmlGenerator` on up
- name `IHtmlHelper` and `IHtmlHelper<TModel>` parameters "htmlHelper"
- rename `TProperty` and `TValue` type parameters to `TResult`
nits:
- clean up abbreviated names in `CachedExpressionCompiler`
- change `ObjectToDictionary()`'s parameter name to `value`
- use `nameof` more to make renaming (and refactoring) easier in the future
- rewrap parameters and arguments to avoid long lines and orphans
- #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 '!'`
