if else statement in Razor is not functioning

Question

I am using an if else in Razor view to check for null value like this:

 @foreach (var item in Model)
    {
        
                  


        

Answer 1

There are actually two other ways to display text from a code block in razor besides the suggested @(""), using a tag and it's shorthand @:

    @{
        @("--")
        --
        @:--
    }

The code above will display -- three times.
