Why does Razor not like this?

Question

Ive got a mega annoying problem I have a view with:

@{

        if(ViewBag.Section == \"Home\")
        {
           
   
           


        
      

Answer 1

You can use the same construct when you wrap your div's inside element like:

@if (ViewBag.Section == "Home")
{
    

}
else
{
    

}

Or you use razor syntax @: like

@if (ViewBag.Section == "Home")
{
    @:

}
else
{
    @:

}

But for your current situation I would prefer Ron Sijm's solution:

@{
var divName = ViewBag.Section == "Home" ? "headerfrontPage" : "header";
}
