Razor: Why is my variable not in scope

Question

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@using System.Collections;

@{ List qa = new List(); } //this is not defined in the recursi         


        

Answer 1

Define the variable in a @functions section.

The normal @{ places your code in some method body. Use @functions to define class members.

@functions{ List qa = new List(); }
