Razor parse error- nested if and html within a foreach loop

Question

I'm trying to execute the following code in asp.net razor view-

@foreach (var contact in ViewBag.ContactInfo.Rows)
{
    if (columnCount>4)
    {
        <div class="row-fluid">
    }

    <div class="span4">@ViewBag.SomeText</div>

    //This if block is treated as normal text.
    if (columnCount > 4)
    {
        </div>
        columnCount = 0;
    }

    columnCount++;
}

But it gives parse error.

Any help?

Try something like below. As you are opening div tag in one if and closing in other, razor viewengine is somehow not able to parse it. Check here for more

      @foreach (var contact in ViewBag.ContactInfo.Rows)
        {
            if (columnCount>4)
            {
                <div class="row-fluid">
                <div class="span4">@ViewBag.SomeText</div>
                </div>
            }

            else
            {
                <div class="span4">@ViewBag.SomeText</div>
            }
            columnCount++;
        }

@foreach (var contact in ViewBag.ContactInfo.Rows)
{
    if (columnCount>4)
    {
       @:<div class="row-fluid">
    }

   <div class="span4">@ViewBag.SomeText</div>

   //This if block is treated as normal text.
   if (columnCount > 4)
   {
      @:</div>
      columnCount = 0;
   }

   columnCount++;

}
