Question

I’m having troubles trying the make this code works with razor

@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count(); i++)
{
    <ul>@createSubastaContainer(Model.ElementAt(i))
    if (i % 5 == 0)
    {
        </ul>
    }
}

What I want if the element it’s a multiply of 5 print the end of the </ul>

What’s wrong with my code because it’s printing the </ul> all the time and also the expression itself

UPDATE

Base on the red @marteljn answer it when i made the change throws exception

The for 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.

Answer 1

You need to place a @ before your if statement, so @if (... but as a side note, this would be a great opportunity to create an extension method that extends the HtmlHelper class.

Edit

It is picking up a mismatched tag. The razor view engine enforces HTML compliance when it comes to mismatched tag. So what you can do is replace your tags with @Html.Raw("<ul>") and @Html.Raw("</ul>").
