What is wrong with this Razor?

I have created a new .cshtml file in my Developer/Scripting Files folder.

The content of this file thus far is this.

 @inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext


@if(umbraco.library.IsLoggedOn())
{
      <div id="ShowSideNavMemberOptions">
}else{
    <div id="HideSideNavMemberOptions">
}

    <div id="SideNav">
        <div id="Content">
            Here is some content
        </div>
    </div>    
    
</div>

As you can see I want a different DIV output depending if the user is logged in or not.

However I cannot save this .cshtml file as I get this error.

Error occured
The if block is missing a closing "}" character.  Make sure you have a matching "}" 
character for all the "{" characters within this block, and that none of the "}" 
characters are being interpreted as markup.

Missing what? I just can't see what the problem is here.

Hi Brad,

No you are not missing a "}" here!! its only the way you are calling you script

@if(umbraco.library.IsLoggedOn())
{
      <div id="ShowSideNavMemberOptions">
                <div id="SideNav">
                    <div id="Content">
                        Here is some content
                    </div>
    </div>        
          </div>
}else{
    <div id="HideSideNavMemberOptions">
        </div>
}

But in any case i dont think you really need the else statement here if you are planning to hide content

That's not what I have planned.. I need to show the SideNav content regardless, but I need a different div with different styles around it depending on the users logged in state.

What I need to end up with is this...
```
<div id="ShowSideNavMemberOptions">
    <div id="SideNav">
        <div id="Content">
            Hereis some content
        </div>
    </div>    
</div>
```
Or this..
```
<div id="HideSideNavMemberOptions">
    <div id="SideNav">
        <div id="Content">
            Hereis some content
        </div>
    </div>    
</div>
```
So the structure of what I have is correct, it is just a syntax issue.

"Hide" in this case will just mean that certain items are rendered as disabled and have a different style applied, but that is not the issue at hand here.

What did you mean by "the way you are calling your script"? This is a pretty standard .cshtml file that is put into a Macro and is loaded into a page template.

Hi Brad,

What i meant was there was a missing closing div inside your @if.

Did you get it working though ?

Hi Brad,

You could do something like this:

@{
    var navId = umbraco.library.IsLoggedOn() ? "ShowSideNavMemberOptions" : "HideSideNavMemberOptions";
}

<div id="@navId">
    <div id="SideNav">
        <div id="Content">
            Hereis some content
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Hope this helps.

/Carsten

Elegant solution. Thanks for that.

Just curious, any idea why my code did not work?
