MVC Developer Interview Question:

Explain me what is the difference between “HTML.TextBox” and “HTML.TextBoxFor”?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Both provide the same HTML output, “HTML.TextBoxFor” is strongly typed while “HTML.TextBox” isn't. Below is a simple HTML code which just creates a simple textbox with “FirstName” as name.

Html.TextBox("FirstName ")
Below is “Html.TextBoxFor” code which creates HTML textbox using the property name ‘FirstName” from object “m”.

Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CustomerCode)
In the same way, we have for other HTML controls like for checkbox we have “Html.CheckBox” and “Html.CheckBoxFor”.
