webforms - Using ASP.NET MVC Html Helpers in a standard web forms project

Question

So for example in the code behind of a web form aspx page I would like to be able to do things like

string textBoxHtml = Html.TextBox("MyTextBox");

Is this possible?

Is the source code available to fork for webforms?

Answer 1

1. Possible? Yes.

2. The entire MVC source is available at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=53289097-73ce-43bf-b6a6-35e00103cb4b&displaylang=en

Good luck!

You'll quickly find that pulling bits of code out of MVC is like only wanting a banana and getting the gorilla holding it. ;)
