How to use generic syntax inside a Razor view file?

Question

I was trying to use the following statement:

@Html.Test<ISQL>().Nand() 

However, Razor is choking at the < before the ISQL.

Any official work around for it?

Answer 1

To use generic methods you need to escape the expression

@(Html.Test<ISQL>().Nand()) 

Answer 2

I just found this question when I was looking for this "same error" when upgrading mvc.

I had :

Does not work:

@{     ViewBag.Title = "Something " + @Model.Title;    var something = (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.Options;     } 

Apparently, the syntax went stricter, and as you are inside a @{} block, you should not add @ before Model.Title on the example. But the error on the code editor was pointing to the generic and it was getting me crazy.

It works fine if there is no <> inside the code, but just removing the @ from Model.Title fix the issue.

Works:

@{     ViewBag.Title = "Something " + Model.Title;    var something = (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)ViewBag.Options;     } 

Hope this helps to anyone
