Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for a problem i cant seem to find the answer for - I have a googlemaps jquery inside an mvc view that plots a postcode on a map. I want to pass postcodes from my model and show multiple markers on the google map. All the examples i find are for cshtml and have a for each item in model loop to add the markers. This methodology doesnt seem to work in vbhtml ( Razor ). Attached is my view and the model just passes and Id key field and a postcode ( pcode) :
how do I pass my model.pcode in a loop to the 'var postcode' inside the javascript. I read that you can point the maps to a controller/action but when i tried this the view returns the data to the view as a long xml style string and doesnt plot the points???
Thanks in advance

@ModelType IEnumerable(Of Maps_Application.Tbl_Pcodes)
@Code
ViewData("Title") = "Index"
End Code
