Why does this break?

    <table align="center" class="container" style="font-size: 14px; padding: 15px;">
        @foreach (var field in Model.Fields)
        {
            <tr class="row">
                <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">@field.Name</td>
                @{
                switch(field.FieldType)
                {
                    case "FieldType.FileUpload.cshtml":
                    {
                        <td class="large-12"style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300;  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;"><a href="@(siteDomain/@field.GetValue())" target="_blank" style="color: #00AEA2;">@field.GetValue()</a></td>
                     }
                        break;

                    case "FieldType.DatePicker.cshtml":
                    {
                        <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">@(Convert.ToDateTime(field.GetValue()).ToString("MMMM d, yyyy"))</td>
                    }
                    break;

                    case "FieldType.CheckboxList.cshtml":
                    {
                        <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">
                            @foreach (var color in field.GetValues())
                            {
                                @color<br/>
                            }
                        </td>
                     }
                     break;
                    default:
                    {
                        <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">@field.GetValue()</td>
                    }
                     break;
                }
               } 
            </tr>
        }

Hi Brad

It's hard to say why exactly it's braking, can you show all razor code?

What line is braking?

Thanks,

Alex

I'm trying to modify an email template for a form, but it doesn't seem to agree with the switch portion. If I take it out, the email goes through when I test the form. But when I put it back in, the email doesn't come through. Maybe it's something else??

<body style="background-color: #f4f4f4; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important;">
    <table align="center" class="container" style="font-size: 14px; padding: 15px;">
        @foreach (var field in Model.Fields)
        {
            <tr class="row">
                <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">@field.Name</td>

                switch(field.FieldType)
                {
                    case "FieldType.FileUpload.cshtml":
                    {
                        <td class="large-12"style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300;  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;"><a href="@(siteDomain/@field.GetValue())" target="_blank" style="color: #00AEA2;">@field.GetValue()</a></td>
                     }
                        break;

                    case "FieldType.DatePicker.cshtml":
                    {
                        <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">@(Convert.ToDateTime(field.GetValue()).ToString("MMMM d, yyyy"))</td>
                    }
                    break;

                    case "FieldType.CheckboxList.cshtml":
                    {
                        <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">
                            foreach (var color in field.GetValues())
                            {
                                @color<br/>
                            }
                        </td>
                     }
                     break;
                    default:
                    {
                        <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">@field.GetValue()</td>
                    }
                     break;
                }

            </tr>
        }

Hi Brad

Are you not able to debug in Visual Studio ?

One thought is that a date is not set (null) and so breaks when in the case for datepicker - have no idea if this is or is not possible, just a thought.

Cheers Nigel

Hi Brad,

Check your error log found in the ~/App_Data/Logs folder and post any errors you get related to this here. It should tell us/you exactly what's going wrong.

Probably not a full fix but the foreach is missing an @ in this section

case "FieldType.CheckboxList.cshtml":
                {
                    <td class="large-12" style=" padding:10px; font-weight:300; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">
                        foreach (var color in field.GetValues())
                        {
                            @color<br/>
                        }
                    </td>
                 }

Thanks for the responses guys! I was away for a while so I wasn't able to repsond.

It appears the datepicker issue that Nigel mentioned was the issue.
