Question

I am trying to write below simple code in razor page but it gives always error.

( @gallery.Images.Count images )   // expect : ( 23 images )

But strangely below code works

(@Model.RateCount rates)

I am getting compilation error not runtime exception

Full cshtml page is at below.

@using Something.UI.Models.ViewModels
@model List<ImageGalleryUI>
<div class="albumlist">
    @foreach (ImageGalleryUI gallery in Model)
    {

        <a href="@Html.ActionLinkRef(gallery.DisplayAction)">
            <img src="@gallery.AlbumImageSrc" alt="@gallery.AlbumName" width="150px"/>
        </a>
        @Html.ActionLink(gallery.DisplayAction) 
        ( @gallery.Images.Count images )
    }
</div>

And here is error

Compilation Error

Line 12:     }
Line 13: </div>

Answer 1

If you haven’t done anything like this at the top

@{
   gallery = new ...
}

Then gallery does not exist.

Are you sure you do not mean @Model.gallery.Images.Count ?

EDIT

Try replacing

( @gallery.Images.Count images )

With

@: ( @gallery.Images.Count images )

Should work out just fine. Problem is that Razor is interpreting ( as part of the code, and not as part of the output. Put @: to let Razor know that what comes on this line is output that should go into the response stream.
