Question

This should not be as hard as it seems to be, but I can’t for the life of me create a table in VB using Razor syntax. The following does not work (despite what some examples would lead me to believe):

<table>
@Code
   For Each item in Model
        @<tr>
            @<td>@item.DocumentType</td>
        </tr>
   Next
End Code
</table>

This gives me the following error:

Parser Error Message: “<” is not valid at the start of a code block.
Only identifiers, keywords, comments, and “(” are valid.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Try removing the @ before the <td>:

<table>
@Code
   For Each item in Model
        @<tr>
            <td>@item.DocumentType</td>
        </tr>
   Next
End Code
</table>

or a bit shorter:

<table>
   @For Each item in Model
        @<tr>
            <td>@item.DocumentType</td>
        </tr>
   Next
</table>

Once again you must remove the @ before the <td>.
