How can I use Html.DisplayFor inside of an iterator?

Question

I am loving MVC 2. The whole thing just fits the web so well.

There is one piece of functionality, however, that I am unable to coax out of the Html.DisplayFor() function:

<@ Page Inherits="ViewPage<IEnumerable<Foo>>">

<% foreach(var item in Model) { %>

    <%: Html.DisplayFor(item.BarBaz) %>

<% } %>

I need to be able to use the DisplayTemplate for this value. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You can accomplish it by getting away from the foreach and using a regular for loop:

 <% for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count(); i++) { %>

    <%: Html.DisplayFor(p=> p.ElementAt(i).BarBaz) %>

 <%} %>

Another option would be to create a PartialView that took an Foo object and only displayed the information that you wanted.

<% foreach (var item in Model)
   {
       Html.RenderPartial("FooBarBazLine", item);
   } %>

Answer 2

Actually, I figured it out. How stupid of me.

This works:

<@ Page Inherits="ViewPage<IEnumerable<Foo>>">

<% foreach(var item in Model) { %>

    <%: Html.DisplayFor(m => item.BarBaz) %>

<% } %>
