Question

I have been stuck on this for some time now; I’m using ASP.NET MVC 4 and C# for a web application. I read in an Excel file from my controller, and I have a List of all the cells which I send back to my view. This is what I’m using:

<table>
@foreach (var item in ViewBag.range)
{ 
    <tr>
    @for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) 
    {
        <td>
            <input style="width:50px;" value=@item />
        </td>
    }
    </tr>
}
</table>

Basically, I have 6 columns in Excel. I am trying to recreate the Excel in my view.
But there is something wrong with my for loop, it’s doing each cell 6 times.

Can anyone help please?

Answer 1

It does that because you tell it to in the for loop. Perhaps you should remove it.

<table>
 <tr>
  @foreach (var item in ViewBag.range)
  { 

    <td>
        <input style="width:50px;" value=@item />
    </td>

  }
 </tr>
</table>

EDIT

This will place the items inside of range into rows which have 6 columns each.

@{
 int total = 0; 
}

<table>
  @foreach (var item in ViewBag.range)
  { 
    if( total % 6 == 0 ){
        @:<tr>
    }
    <td>
        <input style="width:50px;" value=@item />
    </td>
    if( total+1 % 7 == 0 ){
        @:</tr>
    }
    total++;
  }
</table>
