Courses Plus Student 2,486 PointsUsing the Razor syntax, enumerate the view's Model property
Challenge Task 1 of 1
Using the Razor syntax, enumerate the view's Model property (containing an array of VideoGame object instances) within the provided <ul> element. Use a foreach loop to render each VideoGame object's DisplayText property value within its own <li> element. Name your loop value variable videoGame. Be sure to remove the placeholder <!-- video games --> HTML comment.
It asks me if I used the view's Model property as the source for the foreach loop. I did it exactly as in the video, and it compiled and worked in my code as I followed along. Any pointers?
@model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame[]
@{
ViewBag.PageTitle = "Video Games";
}
<h1>@ViewBag.PageTitle</h1>
<div>
<ul>
@foreach (var videoGame in Model.VideoGame)
{
<li>@videoGame.DisplayText</li>
}
</ul>
</div>

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi Josh,
This one is a bit tricky because the Model property is set to the array itself at the top of the file. That means there's no VideoGame property. Model itself is the array.
@model Treehouse.Models.VideoGame[]
...
So you can loop through each VideoGame object like so.
...
<div>
<ul>
@foreach (var videoGame in Model)
{
<li>@videoGame.DisplayText</li>
}
</ul>
</div>
I hope this helps.
