Question

I am trying to populate a view from a controller. Here is what I am trying to do. I am filling in a dictionary with data and then I am putting that data in a viewdata:

  Dictionary<string, string> list = ExtractURL(content);
                ViewData["List"] = list;

At the view side I am having this:

  <ul>
    <% foreach(var item in ViewData["List"] as Dictionary<string, string>) { %>

    <li><% item.Value.ToString(); %></li>
    <% } %>
    </ul>

Now, everything runs ok, but at the end I am just getting the list without any data there. Check the screenshot for reference.
Can someone please maybe point me what am I doing wrong.
Thanks in advance, Laziale

You have a typo in your syntax, change <% item.Value.ToString(); %> to <%= item.Value.ToString() %>

Otherwise ToString will be called but not written to the output stream.
