How to perform common logical tasks in Razor like if/else, foreach loops, switch statements and using the @ character to separate code and markup
Shows how to perform common logical tasks in Razor like if/else, foreach loops, switch statements and using the @ character to separate code and markup.
The @ symbol
The @ symbol is used in Razor to initiate code, and tell the compiler where to start interpreting code, instead of returning the content of the file as text. Using a single character for this separation, results in cleaner, compact code which is easier to read.
Embedding comments in razor
Commenting your code is important, use comments to explain what the code does. @* *@
indicates a comment, which will not be visible in the rendered output.
If/else
If/else statements perform one task if a condition is true, and another if the condition is not true
Foreach loops
A foreach loop goes through a collection of items, typically a collection of pages and performs an action for each item
Switch block
A Switch block is used when testing a large number of conditions
