What should the output HTML look like?

Use Skip() after Take() and you should be fine:

foreach (dynamic img in items.Take(5))
{
    <span> <a href="@img.umbracoFile" rel="prettyPhoto[@Model.NodeTypeAlias]"><img src="@(img.umbracoFile.Replace(".jpg", "_thumb.jpg"))" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></span>
}
    
foreach (dynamic img in items.Skip(5))
{
    <span><a href="@img.umbracoFile" rel="prettyPhoto[@Model.NodeTypeAlias]">@img.Name</a></span>
}

Hi Douglas,

Thanks for the help. It worked indeed. I was thinking may be this could be done like xslt instead of having do make 2 foreach loops.

More of something like

<choose>
<when>
</when>
<otherwise>
</otherwise>
</choose>

Hi Fuji,

You could also use a good ol' for loop to avoid looping through the list two times:

// Can't remember if the Count is a property or a method: Count();
for(int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++)
{
    dynamic img = items[i];
    <span>
<a href="@img.UmbracoFile" rel="prettyPhoto[@Model.NodeTypeAlias]">
            @if(i <= 5)
            {
               <img src="@(img.umbracoFile.Replace(".jpg", "_thumb.jpg"))" alt="" width="100" height="100" />
            }
        </a>
    </span>
} 

Above example is untested.

Another thing is, that I'm not sure if it's "legal" in W3C terms to have a <img /> tag inside of a <span> tag, but that's a-whole-nother story ;-)

Let me know how this works.

All the best,

Bo

Hi Fuji,

Hmm, alright, but out of curiousity: where did it fail in my code snippet?

is working on a reply...
