Inside your view, add a razor code Like below.

You may have on top =

HTML

@model IEnumarable<employee>

and itarate through this list like,

HTML

<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Name</th></tr>
<tr><th>Gender</th></tr>
<thead>
<tbody>

@{
 foreach(var item in Model) // Here item is one Employee Model object
 {
  <tr>
    var GenderText = "Male";
    if(item.Gender == 2){GenderText = "Female"}
   <td>
      <input type=text name="Name" value="item.Name"/>
   </td>
   <td>
     <input type="text" name="Gender" value="@GenderText" />
   </td>
  </tr>

 }
}
</tbody>
</table>

There are other way to acheive this like having a ViewModel or ModelBinder. I feel the above one is best and I have used it many times in my project.

Hope this helps.
