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

I liked Dan's answer but just adjusted slightly as it can work for any IEnumerable:

using System.Collections;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Mvc.Html;

namespace YourProject.Whatever
{
    public static class DisplayExtensions
    {
        public static MvcHtmlString DisplayForIEnumerable(this HtmlHelper html, IEnumerable model, string templateName)
        {
            var tempResult = new StringBuilder();

            foreach (var item in model)
            {
                var item1 = item;
                tempResult.Append(html.DisplayFor(m => item1, templateName));
            }

            return MvcHtmlString.Create(tempResult.ToString());
        }
    }
}

And of course:

@Html.DisplayForIEnumerable(Model.Organizations, "NameOfYourDisplayTemplate")
