ASP.NET C# MVC Pass Values from Controller to cshtml

Question

I'm new to using Razor pages, so I have in the model directory a class with the following values:

public int Id { set; get; }
public string CustomerCode { set; get; }
public double Amount { set; get; }

Inside my controller (.cs file), I have the following:

 public ActionResult Index()
 {
     Customer objCustomer = new Customer();
     objCustomer.Id = 1001;
     objCustomer.CustomerCode = "C001";
     objCustomer.Amount = 900.78;
     return View();
 }

...now, I want to display the values via my Index.cshtml page, but when I run the application, I just get the actual code that I typed as oppose to the values:

...this is how have the .cshtml page setup:

@model Mvccustomer.Models.Customer

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>
<div>
    The customer id is : <%= Model.Id %> <br />
    The customer id is : <%= Model.CustomerCode %> <br />
    The customer id is : <%= Model.Amount %> <br />
</div>

...my question is, how do I get the values to display? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You need to use the razor syntax.

Using your example:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>Index</h2>
<div>
    The customer id is : @Model.Id <br />
    The customer id is : @Model.CustomerCode <br />
    The customer id is : @Model.Amount <br />
</div>

You need to send the value to the view in the return

return View(objCustomer);

This will allow the model binder to kick in, populating the values of your @model type with the values from the ActionResult's object.

If you are using razor instead of the <%= syntax, you should also replace those with the @ razor syntax as shown in Matt Griffiths' answer as well.

Complete solution to your problem:

Controller Action: You need to send object to view from controller action

 public ActionResult Index()
     {
         Customer objCustomer = new Customer();
         objCustomer.Id = 1001;
         objCustomer.CustomerCode = "C001";
         objCustomer.Amount = 900.78;
         return View(objCustomer);
     }

View: You need to use @ for Razor syntax

 @model Mvccustomer.Models.Customer

    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    }

    <h2>Index</h2>
    <div>
        The customer id is : @Model.Id <br />
        The customer id is : @Model.CustomerCode <br />
        The customer id is : @Model.Amount <br />
    </div>
