ProMesh.NET Quick Walkthrough - Part 2 - Looping
We'll take our class from the previous example, and show some tabular data:
[Layout("master")] [View("home")]
public class Home : PageController
{
public class Employee
{
public Employee(string name, decimal salary) { Name = name; Salary = salary }
public string Name;
public decimal Salary;
}
public void Run()
{
List<Employee> employees = new List<Emplyee>();
employees.Add( new Employee("Mark Jones" , 65000) );
employees.Add( new Employee("John Doe" , 83000) );
employees.Add( new Employee("Phil Baxter" , 125000) );
ViewData["Employees"] = employees;
}
}
home.htm
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Salary</th></tr>
<!--$[foreach employee in Employees]-->
<tr><td>$[employee.Name]</td><td>$[employee.Salary]</td></tr>
<!--$[endfor]-->
</table>
</body>
</html>
Pretty simple, isn't it?
The output will be:Name | Salary |
Mark Jones | 65000 |
John Doe | 83000 |
Phil Baxter | 125000 |

<html>
<head><title>My first ProMesh.NET page</title></head>

<table>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Salary</th></tr>
<tr><td>Mark Jones</td><td>65000</td></tr>
<tr><td>John Doe</td><td>83000</td></tr>
<tr><td>Phil Baxter</td><td>125000</td></tr>
</table>

Want to format the numbers a little?
home.htm
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Salary</th></tr>
<!--$[foreach employee in Employees]-->
<tr><td>$[employee.Name]</td><td>$[employee.Salary:#,##0.00]</td></tr>
<!--$[endfor]-->
</table>
</body>
</html>
Final output:Name | Salary |
Mark Jones | 65,000.00 |
John Doe | 83,000.00 |
Phil Baxter | 125,000.00 |
