- #1999
- may have reordered the precedence comments as I double-checked the implementations
- `CheckBox()` and `RadioButton()` were examples of such updates
nits:
- use SSL in documentation links
- simplify mentions of format strings
- remove a few phrases that didn't say much and duplicated `<remarks>`
- #4116
- generalize rules for `ModelMetadata` creation; minimize metadata changes when Model is updated
- down to a single special case in VDD for `Nullable<T>`
- note existing functional tests did not need to change
- remove `ViewDataDictionary(ViewDataDictionary, object)` constructor; use `new VDD<object>(source, model)`
- allow all `Model` assignments in a view component
- copy-constructed VDD in `ViewComponentContext` previously preserved the source's declared type
nits:
- do not call `virtual SetModel()` method from constructor; now mostly redundant
- logic in copy constructor and `SetModel()` is consistent but different enough to keep code separate
- add some missing doc comments
- fix doc comment property versus type confusion; never need to specify `ViewDataDictionary.` prefix
- fix a few `TemplateBuilder` comments and remove unnecessary `model: null` argument to VDD constructor
- remove duplicate `null` checks in `ViewDataDictionary` constructors
- correct a couple of code comments
- use a `public` constructor for `ViewDataDictionary` in `ViewExecutor`
