Question

I’m trying to generate fairly simple xml using razor template engine.
This is my template:

<gridDef Id="@Model.MasterType.Name"/>

I would like to append “Grid” to Id attribute value.
It works with code block:

@{
  var name = Model.MasterType.Name + "Grid";
}
<gridDef Id="@name"/>

but I would like to use razor syntax without defining variables. Is that possible?

You need to use parentheses to separate the Razor expression from the literal source:

<gridDef Id="@(Model.MasterType.Name)Grid" />

Alternatively, you could concatenate the string within the expression:

<gridDef Id="@(Model.MasterType.Name + "Grid")" />
