Razor in-line if statement not working?

Question

I've got an exception throwing at this line, and can't figure out why...maybe someone else can spot it

<img src="@{Model.Image != null ? Model.Image.FileName : "";}" width="200px" id="ImagePreview"/>

The exception I'm getting is:

error CS0201: Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement

Answer 1

You need to use the expression (explicit) code block style for that expression:

<img src="@(Model.Image != null ? Model.Image.FileName : "")" width="200px" id="ImagePreview"/> 

see the gu's post

Answer 2

Try wrapping it in parenthesis instead of curly brackets:

<img src="@(Model.Image != null ? Model.Image.FileName : "")" width="200px" id="ImagePreview"/>
