I have generated StoreManagerController
for my solution. Visual Studio 2013 generated such
StoreManager/Index.cshtml view
@model IEnumerable<MvcMusicStore.Models.Album>
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
<p>
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Genre.Name)
</th>
<th>
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Artist.Name)
</th>
<th>
@* @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Title)*@
TITLE
</th>
<th>
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Price)
</th>
<th></th>
</tr>
@foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Genre.Name)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Artist.Name)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Title)
</td>
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Price)
</td>
<td>
@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.AlbumId }) |
@Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.AlbumId }) |
@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.AlbumId })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
Questions:
1.Why table header is generated by : @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Title)
not just Title
or at least @Html.DisplayNameFor(model.Title)
.
2.Is DisplayNameFor
method returns name of the field, so for model => model.x it returns x? Is this something like reflection in Java?
3.Is lambda expression necessary here?
