Using a nested foreach statement to display html data

Question

I have two models below.

        public class CustMaster
        {
            public string  FirstName { get; set; }
            public string  LastName { get; set; }
            public List<DetailsInfo> GetDetails { get; set; }        
        }

        public class DetailsInfo
        {
            public string  OrderId { get; set; }
            public string  OrderDescription { get; set; }
            public string  OrderStatus { get; set; }
            public string  Price { get; set; }        
        }

I use this model in my view to display the result in my html section

        @model IEnumerable<Tester.Domain.GenClasses.CustMaster>

Data is returned in this format

        Row 0
          -FirstName
          -LastName
          -GetDetails
                -Row 0
                  -OrderId
                  -OrderDescription
                  -OrderStatus
                  -Price                      
                -Row 1
                  -OrderId
                  -OrderDescription
                  -OrderStatus
                  -Price
        Row 1
          -FirstName
          -LastName
          -GetDetails
                -Row 0
                  -OrderId
                  -OrderDescription
                  -OrderStatus
                  -Price

                -Row 1
                  -OrderId
                  -OrderDescription
                  -OrderStatus
                  -Price

I want to be able to display data in my html i.e loop through the entire main list and write out the inner data. I am thinking it should be like the code below. Is this correct? What will the parent foreach look like? Will this be a foreach or a for statement? Please assist.

      @foreach(what goes here?)
      {
        @foreach (var m in CustMaster)
        {
            <ul>
            <li>                  
            </li>

            @foreach (var d in m.GetDetails)
            {

               <li>
                    <ul>
                        <li> </li>
                        <li> </li>
                        <li> </li>
                        <li> </li>                                  
                    </ul>
                </li>

              }
            </ul>
        } 
      }

It returns the model CustMaster populated with data which is fine. — Baba

As a general note foreach statement works on objects that implements a IEnumerable interface. Then the answer is .. it depends on how the collections of CustMaster objects is defined. — weirdgyn

Did you see this line. @model IEnumerable<Tester.Domain.GenClasses.CustMaster> — Baba

You can use foreach(var c in Model)

Thanks. I will try this. So this will loop through the list right?

It should loop over your IEnumerable<Tester.Domain.GenClasses.CustMaster>

Thanks. I will try it now.

Actually I got it to work without the outermost foreach statement. It wasn't necessary.
