c# - ASP.NET MVC4 HtmlHelper Not rendering html

Question

Im trying to create an Html Helper that renders blog posts from a database, but for some reason the HtmlHelper doesn't render the code..

This is what my helper looks like:

@helper Render(System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper html, T2L.Models.Post post, bool isAdmin, bool isMember)
{
    <p>dsfds</p>
    <div class="wrapper_top">
        <div class="grid_1 alpha">
            <div class="date">
                <span>
                    @post.time.ToString("MMM").ToUpper()

                </span>
                @post.time.ToString("dd")
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="content span_2_of_single">
            <h5 class="blog_title"><a href="@Href("~/Blog/p/" + post.id)">@post.title</a></h5>
            <div class="content">
                <div class="span-1-of-1">
                    <a href="bloginner.html"><img class="m_img"  src="@post.thumbnail" alt=""/></a>
                </div>
                <div class="span-1-of-2">
                    <p>@post.body</p>

                    <a href="@Href("~/Blog/p/"+post.id)" class="arrow_btn">Read More</a>
                </div>
                <div class="clear"> </div>
            </div>  
            <div class="links">
                <h3 class="comments">By<a href="bloginner.html">@post.author</a></h3>
                <h3 class="comments"><a href="#">10 Comments</a></h3>
                <h3 class="tags">Tags: <a href="#">Design</a>,<a href="#">Creative</a>,<a href="#">wordpress theme</a></h3>
                <h3>Share</h3>
                <h3>
                    <div class="social_1">
                        <ul>    
                            <li class="icon1_t"><a href="#"><span> </span></a></li>
                            <li class="icon2_f"><a href="#"><span> </span></a></li>     
                        </ul>
                    </div>
                </h3>
                <div class="clear"> </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="clear"> </div>
    </div>
}

and this is how I call it:

   @if (Model.Count() == 0)
                {
                    <div class="wrapper_top">
                        <p style="font-size:22px; font-weight:bold; font-style:italic; color:#1d7abc;">No posts available..</p>
                    </div>
                }
                else
                {
                    foreach (Post post in Model)
                    {
                        PostGenerator.Render(Html, post, isAdmin, isMember);
                    }
                }

I don't see what I'm doing wrong exactly.. Can someone please help??

that's not usually how you make an HtmlHelper. Usually it's an extension method off an HtmlHelper object. It looks like what you're trying to do is define a Section or perhaps a Partial View — user610217

Try adding @ in front of your call:

@PostGenerator.Render(Html, post, isAdmin, isMember)
