The code so far

I have made a List in the controller from a directories file names.

Controller
C#
List<string> Pictures = new List<string>();
            DirectoryInfo getPic = new DirectoryInfo(@"mycomputter");
            FileInfo[] fType = getPic.GetFiles("*.png");
            
            foreach(FileInfo ft in fType)
            {
                Pictures.Add(ft.Name.ToString());  
            }
            ViewBag.MyList = Pictures;
            return View();


View
C#
@foreach (var item in ViewBag.MyList)
   {
       <tr>
           <td>
             <img src="~/Content/Images/@item" style="height:150px; width: 250px;" />
           </td>
       </tr>

   }


The Question
After this I loop its contents and create a grid of pics, which is what I initially wanted. In Desktop Application I would use for example some code like below

List<string> 70sPop = new List<string();>
70spop.add("abba");
70spop.add("beegees");
70spop.add("boneym");
to get boneym in a console application I would use
console.writeline(mcsc[2]); view if wanted solely to use the 3rd element. I have found Viewbag.mylist[x], just yields the code the itself to the view. I would like just use one element to produce a string. Look for information elsewhere almost all solutions pointed to a loop. I could use some conditional statements in the foreach loop but I am looking if poosible to call an individual element.

You know that you're returning the view before the filenames are added, right?

clerical error in the cut and Paste I will correct! (I sound like Gloria Gaynor)

can you please explain this more clearly? - How do I use the individual constituents of a List in a View?

I have added a little to the above in relation to your question

1 solution

I'm not completely sure that I understand you're issue. I've put the same basic code into place and it seems to work fine.

I can provide a list of the document names and I can select an individual item to display within an tag. The code for my View is shown below:

<br />
<ul><br />
	@foreach (var item in ViewBag.FileList)<br />
	{<br />
		<li>@item</li><br />
	}<br />
</ul><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Item Number 2: <br /><br />
<img src="~/Content/Employees/@ViewBag.FileList[2]" /><br />
