    How to get content by index in Enumerable?

    I'm trying to get content by index from set, but it does't compile.

    Example:

    var set = Model.MyContent; // it is a NestedContent!
for (int i = 0; i < set.Count(); i++)
 {
     <p>@set[i].MyProperty</p> // Error! 
 }

    Why?! Enumerable

    Does better way exists? All I want - render my content in rows like that :

    Row 1
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
Row 2
- item 4
- item 5
- item 6

    I tryed to use .Next() method, but it does,t works with NestedContent for some reason.

    Nested content is of type IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>. The IEnumerable interface doesn't support accessing items by index. In order to access by index you need to convert to either an Array or a List that does support addressing by index ie.

    var items = Model.MyContent.ToList();

    or

    var items = Model.MyContent.ToArray();

    However, it sounds like you want to break your content into equally sized groups? In that case, use the InGroupsOf() extension method. Something like:

    var groups = Model.MyContent.InGroupsOf(3);

foreach (var group in groups)
{
        <h4>Group</h4>
        <ul>
        @foreach (var item in group)
        {
            <li>@item.Name</li>
        }
        </ul>
}

    Dan, Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I wanted! Yes, I realy wanted to group my content in equel groups and then render it!

    I'm using Bootstrap 3 without flexboxes, so it hard to render grid when you have different height of content.

    For other with same problem, I just leave solution here:

    <section>
    @foreach (var row in Model.MyContent.InGroupsOf(3))
    {
        <div class="row">
            @foreach (MyModel item in row)
            {
                <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-sm-4">
                    <p>@item.MyProperty</p>
                </div>
            }
        </div>
    }
</section
