Have you tried saving the Razor file in Visual Studio? Maybe than it just works.

Hi Jeroen,

Yes I tried that, but without luck. The odd thing is that in VS, I also get a squigly at the end of the line:

<br />Phone: @Model.memberPhone

telling me to that a ';' is expected

thanks for your help,

Anthony

Hmm I don't see the problem either. Does this work?

<br />Phone: @(Model.memberPhone)

Hi Jeroen,

I deleted code in the if-statement and typed it again and now it works. It must have been an hidden character or something.

Thanks for your help,

Anthony

I guess I still need to unravel the mysteries of Razor, this code works:

@if (Model.GetProperty("memberPhone").Value != null)
{
    <br />@Model.memberPhone
}

But if I add the static text 'Phone':

@if (Model.GetProperty("memberPhone").Value != null)
{
    <br />Phone: @Model.memberPhone
}

c:\Repos\creative-website\testcreative\macroScripts\634710288041184781_Member.cshtml(9): error CS1002: ; expected

Does someone know what's going on??

Thanks for your help,

Hi Jeroen,

Yes, both options work, the second one needed a little tweaking because the '<br />' was not interpreted but rendered literaly, so I changed it to:

<br /> @("Phone:" + Model.memberPhone)

That also worked fine, thanks for your help,

Anthony

If you want a nice syntax, look at this: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/12/15/asp-net-mvc-3-razor-s-and-lt-text-gt-syntax.aspx

This works as intended:

   @{
        var test = "hello";
    }
    @if (1 == 1)
    {
        @:<br /><br /><br /> @test
    }  

Tldr: You just need to use "@:"

@: <br /> Phone: @Model.memberPhone

I am having this same issue, I am trying to use some razor scripts from an earlier version of Umbraco and I'm getting an error when saving the file saying it expects a '}'

The snippet if below and it appears to be the if statement that is breaking it, any ideas on what has changed or what I'm doing wrong? I was just trying to port this code from 4.* to the latest 4.* to get the side navigation working.

@{ 

  var startLevel = 2;

  var finishLevel = 4;   

  var parent = @Model.AncestorOrSelf(startLevel);

if(parent!=null)

{

var childCount = parent.Children.Count();

@* DO some other logic*@

}

}

OK so I just tried splitting down my if statement from the variables like below and got it working! Typical just after I had posted ;)

@{ 

  var startLevel = 2;

  var finishLevel = 4;   

  var parent = @Model.AncestorOrSelf(startLevel);

}

@if(parent!=null){ 

 var childCount = parent.Children.Count();

 if(childCount>0)

 {

 <div id="sidenav">

 @ulMenu(parent, startLevel, finishLevel)

   </div>

 }

  }

}

Prettier if-statement:

@if(parent!=null && parent.Children.Any())

{ 

    <div id="sidenav">

        @ulMenu(parent, startLevel, finishLevel)

    </div>

}

Try removing the @ from @Model.AncestorOrSelf(startLevel);
