Define a variable in outer loop of Razor and use it inside the loop

Question

@{ int i = 0;}
@foreach (var providerInfo in Model.Results)
{
    <div class="row">
      i = i + 1;

Inside the for-each loop I want to have a counter so I tried yo define my variable outside of it as above but Razor doesn't get it! What is the correct Syntax to do this?

In your case statement i = i + 1; is currently interpreted as part of HTML. In order to tell Razor to interpret it as C# code, you can wrap your increment code with a @{ }:

@{ int i = 0;}
@foreach (var providerInfo in Model.Results)
{
    <div class="row">
      @{i = i + 1; }
}
