MVC 3 multiple DisplayFor-Templates

Question

I\'m trying to make a custom template for a basket item list. I need a few different templates, as I have different ways of displaying the item, depending on if it\'s on the web

Answer 1

Unfortunately that's a limitation of templated helpers. If you specify a template name for a collection property the template no longer applies automatically for each item of the collection. Possible workaround:

@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Items.Length; i++)
{
    @Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Items[i], "CustomerItemBaseList")
}
