I have a MVC4 web app and i currently have a few @helper
's that i use on multiple pages, defined within cshtml. The problem is, i have to define them on each page they are used. Is it possible to create a .cshtml
file that contains all of my @helper
's and include that page into my views?
i.e. this is used on every Index view in the cms area.
@helper DisplayPager(Int32 CurrentPage, Int32 MaxPages) {
String IsActive = "";
<div class="pagination pagination-centered">
<ul>
<li><a href="@Url.Action("Index", new { id = CurrentPage - 1 > 0 ? CurrentPage - 1 : 1 })">Prev</a></li>
@for (int i = 0; i < MaxPages; i++)
{
IsActive = ((i + 1) == CurrentPage) ? "active" : "";
<li class="@(IsActive)"><a href="@Url.Action("Index", new { id = i + 1 })">@(i + 1)</a></li>
}
<li><a href="@Url.Action("Index", new { id = CurrentPage + 1 < MaxPages ? CurrentPage + 1 : MaxPages })">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
}
Same definition, same code, same everything, but it is in the code at least 15 times now.
