Question

It seems that in Views, there is limited libraries available (is it true?), see below:

My question is how do I convert an IEnumerable to, say, an array or a list? I normally can use methods like ToArray(), ToList(), or Cast<T>() in a regular C# file, but they all seem to have disappeared when it comes to Views (in ASP.NET MVC).

<%@ import namespace='System.Linq' %>

You can also add your namespace in the Web.config, i.e.:

<system.web>
  <pages>
    <namespaces>
      <add namespace='System.Linq' />
    </namespaces>
  </pages>
</system.web>
