Can't get Razor if statement to work properly

Question

I've got the following simple code:

@for (int j = 0; j < file.Items.Count; j++) {
var item = file.Items[j];
if (item.Errors.Count > 0)
{
    Html.Raw("<tr class='errors'>");
}
else {
    Html.Raw("<tr>");
}
    <td>blah</td>
    </tr>
}

However, I keep getting a parsing error saying that the closing </tr> has no opening tag. What am I missing? If I replace the if statement with a regular <tr> then it works fine.

Are you closing the for loop with a } – raklos Jun 26 '12 at 14:22 — raklos, Jun 26 '12 at 14:22

I believe it is just an intellisense problem, try this hack:

@for (int j = 0; j < file.Items.Count; j++) {
   var item = file.Items[j];
   if (item.Errors.Count > 0)
   {
       @:<tr class="errors">
   }
   else {
       @:"<tr>");
   }
       @:<td>blah</td>
       @:</tr>
 }

I think your code is perfectly OK, check this SO question for great explanations of this.

Hope it helps!

try losing the Html.Raw in both cases. I don't see why you need them
