Asp.Net MVC 2.0 preview builds provide helpers like 

Html.EditorFor(c => c.propertyname)

If the property name is string, the above code renders a texbox.

What if I want to pass in MaxLength and Size properties to the text box or my own css class property?

Do I need to create one template for each size and length combinations in my application? If so, that doesn't make the default templates that usable.

In MVC3, you can set width as follows:

@Html.TextBoxFor(c => c.PropertyName, new { style = "width: 500px;" })
