I’m trying to figure this simple thing but I’m actually embarrassed to ask such a newbie question. Im so used to mvc2 and i jumped into my first mvc3 project some days ago. anyway the question is how can i add model value in a class name or id

<div class="remove-MODEL.ID">body...</div>

in mvc2 its simple

<div class="remove-<%= Model.Id %>">body...</div>

my current code and try is (WORKS)

<div class="remove-@Model.Id">body...</div>

i tried a string format instead (WORKS)

<div class="@string.format("{0}", Model.Id)">body...</div>

i really have no idea and like i said such a simple thing becomes the hardest 🙂

EDIT

It is really odd but my third and forth suggestion worked after a couple of tries

    This is one of the minor limitations of the Razor engine. The problem lies in the engines ability to determine if the @ is razor syntax or just regular html text. This example can occur frequently when the razor output is <prefixvalue>@<model>.<value> because that is similar to the email expression <name>@<emailprovider>.com. You can force the engine to assume razor syntax by surrounding the expression in parentheses (e.g. @(model.id)).
