Declarative helpers in Razor
ASP.NET Web Pages Beta 1 have support for Helpers, which are methods written in C# or Visual Basic, and returns IHtmlString. They can return HTML that is displayed on the page. If you choose to create helpers that way, you would need to have your HTML in an assembly, which makes it different to modify.
