## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ViewComponentFactory(HtmlHelper) | `public ViewComponentFactory(HtmlHelper htmlHelper)` | Stores the supplied `HtmlHelper` in the settable `HtmlHelper` property for use by factory methods. |
| HtmlHelper | `public HtmlHelper HtmlHelper { get; set; }` | The view's `HtmlHelper`; settable, though it is normally only assigned once by the constructor. Marked `[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]` to hide it from IntelliSense on the fluent chain. |
| Toolbar() | `public ToolbarBuilder Toolbar()` | Constructs a view-context-bound `Toolbar` and returns its fluent builder; see the "Build a toolbar through the fluent API" operation. |
