I followed these instructions here: http://w3schools.com/razor/razor_example.asp
NOTE: I’m using Web Matrix

The example said to do this:

@
{
var imagePath; 
if( Request["Choice"] != null)
{imagePath="images\" + Request["Choice"];} 
} 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<body> 
<h1>Display Images</h1> 
<form method="post" action=""> 
<div>
   I want to see: 
   <select name="Choice"> 
      <option value="Photo1.jpg">Photo 1</option> 
      <option value="Photo2.jpg">Photo 2</option> 
      <option value="Photo3.jpg">Photo 3</option> 
   </select> 
   &nbsp; 
   <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> 
</div> 
<div style="padding:10px;"> 
@if(imagePath != "")
{<img src="@imagePath" alt="Sample" />} 
</div> 
</form> 
</body> 
</html>

And all i get this this error:

Does anything have to be setup to accept @ { being on seperate lines?

    Server Error in '/' Application.

If I put them on the same line, i get this error: 

    Parser Error 
    Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. 

    Parser Error Message: The code block is missing a closing "}" character.  Make sure you have a matching "}" character for all the "{" characters within this block, and that none of the "}" characters are being interpreted as markup.


    Source Error: 


    Line 1:  @{
    Line 2:  var imagePath; 
    Line 3:  if( Request["Choice"] != null)


    Source File: /Page.cshtml    Line: 1

    Here’s how to fix the couple of errors in your code:

    @{
    var imagePath = ""; 
    if(Request["Choice"] != null) {
        imagePath = "images/" + Request["Choice"];
    } 
} 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<body> 
<h1>Display Images</h1> 
<form method="post" action=""> 
<div>
   I want to see: 
   <select name="Choice"> 
      <option value="Photo1.jpg">Photo 1</option> 
      <option value="Photo2.jpg">Photo 2</option> 
      <option value="Photo3.jpg">Photo 3</option> 
   </select> 
   &nbsp; 
   <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> 
</div> 
<div style="padding:10px;"> 
    @if(imagePath != "") {
        <img src="@imagePath" alt="Sample" />
    } 
</div> 
</form> 
</body> 
</html>
