Asp.net MVC Razor View syntaxes

Question

I just started learning Ext.net MVC and i m using Razor engine. i found out there is two different and equivalen syntaxes used in the .cshtml files. For example, in order to create a grid panel, we can use:

Syntax #1:

@(Html.X().GridPanel().Title("Grid"))

Or Syntax #2:

Ext.Net.GridPanel grid = new Ext.Net.GridPanel();
 grid.Title = "Grid";

Whats's the name of each syntax? is there any way to translate the first code to the second one?

They are both c#. However, syntax #1 invokes a html helper using a fluent builder to configure the grid. Syntax 2 is plain old C#, you just set up properties. Both are alternative ways to set up the GridPanel, only that in the first case the helper also renders the control (generates the html). You don't need to translate anything. You can say syntax 1 is the way to easily integrate the GridPanel code into a razor view.
