I've recently upgraded a project from MVC 1 to MVC 3 and now I'm trying out Razor.
In one View, I have a foreach code block, but the nested if statement does not seem to want the @ in front of it.
My original code was:
@foreach(var r in Model.Results)
{
string css = r.Result.Count() > 0 ? "fail" : "pass";
<p class="@css"><strong>@r.Description</strong></p>
@if(r.Result.Count() > 0)
{
<p>Count: @r.Result.Count()</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th><th>Title</th><th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach(var e in r.Result) {
<tr><td>@e.Id</td><td>@e.Title</td><td>@e.Description</td></tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
}
}
I'll get a runtime error with @if that says: Unexpected "if" keyword after "@" character. Once inside code, you do not need to prefix constructs like "if" with "@".
If I remove the @ the code runs fine. I expected to need the @ because of the HTML immediately preceding it. What confuses me more is that I do need the @ before the nested foreach. What are the rules in play here?
