I just did a simple Page in MVC where i was getting an error of parser. My code was everything fine. i just need some one what would cause this error.

    @foreach (string strCountry in ViewBag.Countries)

            @strCountry

HTML

  @foreach (string strCountry in ViewBag.Countries){
        <li>
            @strCountry
        </li>
}

Try with this dear.
This will work out. As you are using loop that should have a start and close brackets.
Similar to server side code.
I hope this works.
Post back your queries if any.
Thanks.:)
