I'm having problems with my razor view. I have the following:
public ICollection<Topic> Topics
public class Topic
{
public string Description { get; set; }
}
I want to iterate through the collection and print out the results like this:
@foreach (int index in Enumerable.Range(0, Model.Topics.Count())){
<div>@(index). Model.Topics[@(index)].Description"</div>
}
The problem is that all I get is:
0. Model.Topics[0].Description"
1. Model.Topics[1].Description"
I tried all kinds of things but still can't get the description out.
What am I doing wrong :-(
Try like this:
@foreach (var item in Model.Topics)
{
<div>@Model.Topics.IndexOf(item). @item.Description</div>
}
This should work:
@{int i = 0;}
@foreach (Topic tp in Model.Topics){
<div>@(i++).ToString() @tp.Description</div>
}
What your doing is trying to use the foreach
like a for loop. (Possibly like a C++ iterator?) The foreach is however syntactic sugar that does all that work for you.
In C# foreach loops over typed collections. So if you have :
int[] numbers = new int[] {1,2,3,4};
Person[] persons = //collection of persons
The loops would be:
foreach(int n in numbers) { /*n would be each of the numbers*/ }
foreach(Person p in persons)
{/* p here would refer to each person per iteration*/ }
Works for anything IEnumerable (which is IList, Arrays, Collections etc)
Try:
@foreach (int index in Enumerable.Range(0, Model.Topics.Count())){
<div>@(index). @Model.Topics[index].Description</div>
}
Or even better:
@{ int i = 1; }
@foreach (var topic in Model.Topics){
<div>@(i++). @topic.Description</div>
}
