MVC passing data to view and looping

Question

I am terribly confused with MVC.

I don't have any code to show because i don't know how to do it.

I have an object

public class Name()
{
  String name="balh"
  String something="blah blah"
  //this object works fine and doesn't look like this it has the appropriate get;set;
  //use this as just an example
  //please disregard this format
} 

Now i have a

List<Name> list;//this just holds all of my objects

I need them to be passed to the View

I keep seeing something about models but i don't see it declared anywhere

How do i loop in the view to create something like this

<div> object1 string</div>
<div> object2 string</div>
<div> object3 string</div>
<div> object4 string</div>
<div> object5 string</div>

Answer 1

Your view would look like this, assuming you use your list as the model:

@model List<Name>

@foreach(var item in Model) {
  <div> @item.name @item.something</div>
}

So your controller action method might be:

public ViewResult Index() {
  // Somehow build list which is List<Name>
  return View(list);
}
