I have a website in Asp.Net that I am trying to port to MVC 3 and I have only worked with MVC 2 before. I stumbled across the following asp function

You're right about it being similar to a for loop. A simple implementation might look like this:

    <%foreach(var item in Model.Items) { %>
            

                
                

                    

                        
                    
                    

                        

                            close
                        
                    
                    

                    
                    

                    
                    

                        <%: item.MemberDescription %>
                    
                
            
    <% } %>

You'll notice that there are no longer any controls with runat="server", nor are there any events linked to handlers in the code-behind. Instead, we are assuming that the controller has populated the Model object with objects representing the data that we need to display. That is the role of the controller when using MVC.
