asp.net mvc 3 - Razor behaving strangely? -

razor playing tricks me. have partial view:

@model managemvc.models.default.classes.mvcmodule            @{     if (model.canexpand)     {         response.write("crazy");         @:test         <text>ojiiojjiojiojiojiojiojiojio</text>         response.write("crazy2");     }     else     {         response.write("crazy");         @:test         <text>ssssssssdffffffff</text>         response.write("crazy2");     } } 

this called this:

@if (model.modules.count > 0) {     (var = 0; < model.modules.count; i++)     {         html.partial("~/views/usercontrols/_menuitem.cshtml", model.modules[i]);     }     .... } 

i expected razor print out whats written inside text block , @: block. nothing. when run prints crazycrazy2 (for each module in list). did miss something?

updated

the code calling if (model.modules.count > 0) partial itself. 1 called layout page. top code second partial being called. can make difference?

layout -> mainmenu (partial) -> createmenuitem (partial)

updated

this new code: (_menuitem.cshtml inside shared->displaytemplates)

@model managemvc.models.default.classes.mvcmodule           @{     if (model.canexpand)     {         @:test         <text>ojiiojjiojiojiojiojiojiojio</text>     }     else     {         @:test         <text>ssssssssdffffffff</text>             } } 

partial view mainmenu calling menu item:

@html.displayfor(x => x.modules, "_menuitem") 

now breaks on line , following error:

the model item passed dictionary of type 'system.collections.generic.list`1[managemvc.models.default.classes.mvcmodule]', dictionary requires model item of type 'managemvc.models.default.classes.mvcmodule'.

put @ when calling html.partial helper , avoid using response.write in asp.net mvc view:

for (var = 0; < model.modules.count; i++) {     @html.partial("~/views/usercontrols/_menuitem.cshtml", model.modules[i]); } 

also instead of writing ugly loops suggest using templated helpers. replace loop in layout simple helper:

@html.displayfor(x => x.modules) 

and define display template (~/views/shared/displaytemplates/mvcmodule.cshtml) rendered each element of modules collection:

@model managemvc.models.default.classes.mvcmodule            @if (model.canexpand) {     @:test     <text>ojiiojjiojiojiojiojiojiojio</text> } else {     @:test     <text>ssssssssdffffffff</text> } 

see how easier is?
