Question

Are helpers in MVC3 used in the controller as well as the views?

Is a helper the right place to put commonly used controller methods?

I want to create a common method to get all sub children IDs in a database and make sure it is in the right area. I just want to make sure I am putting my logic in the right area.

Thanks

You could implement a base Controller for that logic. Helpers, or extension methods, are good for when you don’t want to change the interface for something.
