Question

ASP.net mvc in new for me, for some time I used php (no mvc), but now i’m interested, how I can fetch one row from db? without foreach, for example in title…

here is some code:
controller

 public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var pages = (from page in db.Pages where page.PageName == "index" select page).ToList();
            return View(pages);
        }

view:

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    <% foreach (var item in Model)
       { %>
    <%= Html.Encode(item.Text) %>
    <% }
    %>
</asp:Content>

Answer 1

In your controller, instead of .ToList() you can use the .FirstOrDefault() method, this will return only the first row from the database.

Then in your view you won’t need the foreach.

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    <%= Html.Encode(item.Model.Text) %>
</asp:Content>
