Using View Helpers to Build Rich, Scalable, Controls
by: Jon Lebensold
Whether you’re developing an ASP.NET application, working with rails or dealing with a templating engine like Smarty, the idea of partial templates is not foreign. Partial templates allow developers and designers to work with panels or sub-groupings of content that need to be dynamic.
