vertical line in the asp net core mvc

Question

It seems I cannot use vertical line in the asp net core 3.1.3 MVC if it contains "User.IsInRole("Admin")"

For example.

@if (User.IsInRole("Admin"))
{
    <a asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Edit</a> |
    <a asp-action="Details" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Details</a> |
    <a asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Delete</a> |
}

The first error message is

Error   CS1525  Invalid expression term '|'

Any ideas how should I fix it?

Why do you think you can't use them? What behavior do you see? Do you get an error? — mason, Mar 19 '20 at 12:56
Clearly it's treating your pipe symbols as C# code rather than HTML. Have you looked at how to force Razor to treat some text as HTML rather than C#? — mason, Mar 19 '20 at 13:21

You have two ways to implement "|" in the @module:

1.Use ASCII character(|) instead of "|"：

@if (User.IsInRole("Admin"))
{
    <a asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Edit</a> &#124;
    <a asp-action="Details" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Details</a>  &#124;
    <a asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Delete</a> &#124;
}

2.Add '@' character before "|" with brackets：

@if (User.IsInRole("Admin"))
{
    <a asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Edit</a> @("|")
    <a asp-action="Details" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Details</a>  @("|")
    <a asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="@item.Id">Delete</a>@("|")
}
