# What is difference between TextBoxFor and TextBox ?

The main difference between TextBoxFor and TextBox is, TextBox is Loose coupled and TextBoxFor is tight coupled.

Or in other words TextBoxFor show any error/ warnings at compile-time rather than runtime because its strongly typed but TextBox show any error at run-time.
