asp.net mvc razor multiply two item and convert to string

Question

When I write @(line.Quantity * line.Product.Price).ToString("c") the result is

39,00.ToString("c") 

and @line.Quantity * line.Product.Price.ToString("c") result is

2 * line.Product.Price.ToString("c") 

How can i multiply two values and convert it to string in a razor view?

Answer 1

try

@((line.Quantity * line.Product.Price).ToString("c"))

The problem is that razor do not know when the output string ends since @ is used to display code in HTML. Spaces switches razor back to HTML mode.

Wrapping everything into parenthesis makes razor evaluate the entire code block.

Although the most proper way would be to introduce a new property in your model:

public class MyModel
{
   public double Total { get { return Quantity * Product.Price; }}
   //all other code here
}

and simply use:

@line.Total.ToString("c")
