Question

My View consists of following code

@{ 
    List<string> list = new List<string>(); 
    list.Add("1001");   
    list.Add("1002");
    list.Add("1003");

    var g = new WebGrid(source:list);
    g.GetHtml();            
}

nothing is there other than this but the grid is not shown, i can see grid’s html in Immediate Window and it is correct but the grid is not shown at all. Why?

Answer 1

Why?

Because you never outputted anything to the response:

@{ 
    List<string> list = new List<string>(); 
    list.Add("1001");   
    list.Add("1002");
    list.Add("1003");

    var g = new WebGrid(source:list);
}

@g.GetHtml();            

or:

@{ 
    List<string> list = new List<string>(); 
    list.Add("1001");   
    list.Add("1002");
    list.Add("1003");

    var g = new WebGrid(source:list);
    @g.GetHtml();
}
