I'm trying to do something like the following
<div id="test">
@(
string.IsNullOrEmpty(myString)
? @:
: myString
)
</div>
The above syntax is invalid, I've tried a bunch of different things but can't get it working.
Another updated approach thanks to new features is to create a helper function right in the view. This has the advantage of making the syntax a little cleaner especially if you are going to be calling it more than once. This is also safe from cross site scripting attacks without the need to call @Html.Encode() since it doesn't rely on @Html.Raw().
Just put the following right into your view at the very top:
@helper NbspIfEmpty(string value) {
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) {
@:
} else {
@value
}
}
Then you can use the function like this:
<div id="test">
@NbspIfEmpty(myString)
</div>
