I have to output an employee's name and dept in the view like Welcome 'employee' to 'dept'. I am using string.Format(). I was playing around with String.Format and string.Format() and saw the following. Can someone please explain why string.Format() doesn't work or what am i missing in the code? I was reading online and saw that string.Format() and String.Format() give the same result.
Doesn't work-
<div>
<div> Welcome </div>
<div>
@if(employee != null)
{
@string.Format("{0} at {1}", employee.name, emp.dept)
}
</div>
</div>
Error- Unexpected "string" keyword after "@" character. Once inside code, you do not need to prefix constructs like "string" with "@".
Works:
<div>
<div> Welcome </div>
<div>
@if(employee != null)
{
@(string.Format("{0} to {1}", employee.name, emp.dept))
}
</div>
</div>
Works
<div>
<div> Welcome </div>
<div>
@if(employee != null)
{
@String.Format("{0} at {1}", employee.name, emp.dept)
}
</div>
</div>
