Question

Public class AbcViewModel
{
    public string native{get; set;}
    public string other{get; set;}
    public List<AbcViewModel> abcList{get; set;}
}

Now that my View is strongly typed to this ViewModel, I need to check some condition before displaying fields.

From my Controller Action I am passing the list

public ActionResult actionName() 
{
    AbcViewModel viewModel=new AbcViewModel();
    viewModel=model.getAbcList();
    return View(viewModel);
}

Condition: If supposed my list contains n counts. Then if any “native element” of any index hold some value then display other fields and hide vice versa.

i.e.
Something like this

@if (Model.languageList.Any(x => x.nativeLanguage.IsNotEmpty() == false)
{ 
    @LabelFor(x=>x.other) 
}
else
{
    @LabelFor(x=>x.native)
}

This is not the correct syntax I think (IsNotEmpty is not a valid method).

Tell me the correct way to do this.

Answer 1

You can do it like this

@if (Model.languageList.Any(x=> !string.IsNullOrEmpty(x.nativeLanguage))==false){ @LabelFor(x=>x.other) }
    else{@LabelFor(x=>x.native)}
