html helpers are nothing but controls as we use in asp. net MVc. net we call it as helpers

Because they all generate Html type of element which returns type is “MvcHtmlString” and It is a type of “HtmlHelper” class. All the Html c# extension methods are inside the “HtmlHelper” class. And the people remember them easily.

Example:

 public static MvcHtmlString TextBox(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string name);
