How to use Collection inside Razor Syntax

A collection is a group of objects of the same type. There are mainly two common collections are used in razor, Array and Dictionary. You have learned Array in previous chapter so we will focus on Dictionary in this chapter.

Dictionary

A dictionary is a collection of key/value pairs and you can use it in programming as follow:

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        @{
            var result = new Dictionary<string, int>();
            result.Add("Jack", 75);
            result.Add("Steven", 80);
            result.Add("Clark", 95);
        }
        <h3>Results of the students are:</h3>
        <h3>Jack : @result["Jack"]</h3>
        <h3>Steven : @result["Steven"]</h3>
        <h3>Clark : @result["Clark"]</h3>
    </body>
</html>

Output

Results of the students are:
Jack : 75
Steven : 80
