How do I move boolean logic out of my View?

Question

In my ASP.NET MVC View I pick a sprite based on a boolean value set in the model like this: ```

">

``` This is ugly and I don't like it. My objective is to use the `sprite-icon_dog_new` if `Model.HasNewDog` is `true` and use `sprite-icon_dog` if `Model.HasNewDog` is false. What is a more elegant and more readable way to do this?

Accepted Answer

I think a HTML Helper would be the way to go?

```
public static string DogDiv(this HTMLHelper html, bool HasDog)
{
  return "...."
}
```

In your view:

```
<%=Html.DogDiv(Model.HasDog) %>
```

Hope that helps,
