Question

I need to print this html in a view:

@foreach (string indices in Model.Indices)
{
    if (counter == 1)
    {
        Response.Write("<tr>");
    }      
                                  
    Response.Write("<td><span class='select'>@Html.CheckBox('nome',false)</span>)");  @indices Response.Write("</td>");

    if (counter > 4) 
    {
        Response.Write("</tr>"); 
    }                
}    

This will print the html markup which I want to create.

I know I could only write the html but Razor is complaining that I am not closing the foreach.

This was my first try:

@foreach (string indices in Model.Indices)
{
    if (counter == 1)
    {
        <tr>
    }      
                                  
    <td><span class='select'>@Html.CheckBox('nome',false)</span> @indices </td>

    @if (counter > 4) 
    {
        </tr>
    }                
}  

Answer 1

Razor requires that HTML tags be well-formed; otherwise, it wouldn’t know when to go back to code context.

You can bypass this restriction by prefixing the line with @:.

However, the correct way to do this is to group your collection into a collection of groups of 4 items, and use a nested foreach.
