It wasn't created for MVC, it was used to send generate HTML emails from a WPF application.
In MS MVC, you can write everything as plain HTML if you want. You don't need to use any builders.

The problem as I see it is that Microsoft (but they are not unique in this) create monolithic solutions rather than lightweight components that you can plug together for the desired behaviors. The website on Rails is another good example, but at least they are transparent about their intention when they write "Rails is opinionated software. It makes the assumption that there is the "best" way to do things."
ASP.NET MVC, like so many other "cool technologies" that Microsoft produces, often strikes me as the work of high school students with real world experience.

Why not use XDocument, XElement and XAttribute from Sytem.Xml.Linq namespace?

Quote: C# is an extremely expressive language, so it turned out to be very easy.
 Apart from the 90 bajillion edge cases the code doesn't cover, which are handled quite nicely in the HTML Agility Pack[^] for example.

But which can be covered with general purpose "tag" and "attribute" functions. I thought HTML Agility Pack was for parsing?

HAP is read/write. You can create documents with it as well.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I believe you can use/extend TagBuilder[^] class. It's handy and very helpful.

Interesting, but it's not exactly a fluent class (ie, it returns itself)

Ya. That is why I said extend

Yes, I have written a HTML 5 boilerplate using a fluent interface which generates the HTML on the server side. What I like about it is that it is strongly typed and I can use inheritance etc.

Would the code be available?

Well, I thought of creating an open source project for it, but I would need to refactor the code first. I never got to it.

Ack. I looked and didn't see it. Thanks for hand-holding me.
OK, I think we have a winner! This reads like what I was wanting to write (in terms of using it) and produces what I would expect. Very nice! And yay, a zip file rather than a NuGet package. Kudos also for commented code! I'm not being sarcastic, it's so discouraging when I come across code that completely lacks comments. I think you just saved me a few days of effort.

Fantastically colorful! Though I wonder why the only color of the spectrum that appears to be missing is green... Anyone smarter than me have an answer?
|
|
|
|

As the picture was originally taken in infrared, all the colors are "false colors", i.e. the infrared spectrum is mapped to the visible spectrum. I'm not an expert in this field, but I suspect that the absence of green is due to the human eye's high sensitivity to green - it would appear much brighter than other colors in the false color image.
If there are any real experts out there - please confirm / refute my suspicion.
