Using HTML.TextBoxFor to loop through items in a model [duplicate]

Question

Probably a stupid question but I am new to MVC.

So far in my Razor I could say @HTML.TextBoxFor(t => t.EmailAddress) but now I have a for-each:

foreach(var q in Model.Questions)
{
  // so here the t => t.EmailAddress  syntax is not working anymore.
}

I asked my question in the code sample above. So when I am inside a for-each loop how can I can use @HTML.TextBox ? because now it doesn't get the lambda syntax anymore.

Do not use foreach, because this will cause problems when you try to bind your inputs back to the model. Instead use a for loop:

for (var i = 0; i < Model.Questions.Count(); i++) {
    @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Questions[i])
}
