Razor syntax in Menu

Question

I am building a menu with Razor and having a problem with it displaying properly. Here is the line that is giving me problems:

<li @topNavCurrentCount == @topNavCount ? "class=last" : @string.Empty><a href="@node.Url.Replace("~/","/").Replace(".aspx","")">@node.Title</a>

It renders the HTML like this:

 <li {1 == 7 ? "class=last" : ;}><a href="/Home">Home</a>

I know im close to getting it but I can't see it.

Answer 1

try placing brackets around the if statement.

<li @(topNavCurrentCount == topNavCount ? "class=last" : string.Empty)>

@ next to a variable will print the value

Answer 2

I think the following might work (placing brackets around the statement):

<li @( topNavCurrentCount == topNavCount ? "class=last" : string.Empty)><a href="@node.Url.Replace("~/","/").Replace(".aspx","")">@node.Title</a>

Answer 3

You need to enclose your logical expression with an @(). What's currently going on is that only your variable's values are being sent to the view.
