XML

I hope you are new to MVC.

If you have a view model in the cshtml file, just use the view model and loop the same way to generate the controls dynamically.

Ex:

If your view model is Demo.ViewModels.EmployeeData

foreach (Demo.ViewModels.EmployeeData emp in  Model.EmployeeViewList)
{

<div>
<@Html.TextBoxFor(model => emp.EmpName)
<@Html.TextBoxFor(model => emp.Designation)
</div>

}

You can also use for loop instead of foreach loop

Solution 3

for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
{
    <div>
        @Html.TextBox("emp" + i);
        @Html.TextBox("desg" + i);
    </div>
    <hr />
}

Should work ;)
