Can you paste your code-block?

I think that Count() return Int so i guess the reason it is how you make the output

Hi gilad,

Thanks for your response :-)

My code is as simple as this:

@{
    @* Get a reference to the data access layer *@
    DbRecipe db = new DbRecipe();
    
    @* Get number of comments for this recipe *@
    var numOfComments = db.GetNumberOfCommentsForRecipe(Model.Id);
    
    @* Output to frontend *@
    @numOfComments
}

I've also tried:

@numOfComments.ToString()

But it's the same :-)

Thanks again.

Hi Bo.

Maybe it is your function - GetNumberOfCommentsForRecipe ? 

What type is it return?

It is a macro? or inline razor?

anyway - just for checking try to make thie:

@{
    int aa = 8;
    @Html.Raw(aa)
} 

I guess it is gonna outpot 8 without any whitespace.

Hi gilad,

The GetNumberOfCommentsForRecipe() method is simply a method on my data access layer to get the number of comments for a given page (recipe), so it return an int.

I've just tried the following:

int test = 8;  
@Html.Raw(test.ToString())

But it also outputs a whitespace :-/ And I've triple checked that there's no padding, margin, whitespace and/or what-so-ever in my markup/css.

Thanks again :-)

Hi Bo.

If this check also outputs with whitespace , maybe is in your html code... 

Try this in your macro : 

@{
    int aa = 8;
    <div>@aa</div>
}

It is also output with whitespace?

Maybe there is some script that do this?

Hi gilad,

How strange is that: I tried to create a new razor macro with just:

@{
    int aa = 8;
    @aa
}

And put it in place of my CommentsCount razor macro and it gives no whitespace.

What gives? :-) I've debugged and checked the output from my DAL method and it returns an integer just as if I set an int variable like above.

is working on a reply...
