MVC Razor @foreach

Question

The answer will not work when using the overload to indicate the template @Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Foos, "YourTemplateName) .

Seems to be designed that way, see this case. Also the exception the framework gives (about the type not been as expected) is quite misleading and fooled me on the first try (thanks @CodeCaster)

In this case you have to use @foreach

@foreach (var item in Model.Foos)
{
    @Html.DisplayFor(x => item, "FooTemplate")
}
