Razor and if statement

Question

I'm using MS Razor in MVC 3 C#, I need to display some text "hello" within the IF statement. At the moment I receive an error. Any idea how to solve it?

EDIT: syntax error

   @if(Model.IsCustomEvent)
    {
        @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new {  id=Model.EventTitle }) hello
    }

Answer 1

you need to put : before hello

 @if(Model.IsCustomEvent)
    {
        @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new {  id=Model.EventTitle }) @:hello
    }

Here is a good reference

Answer 2

Use the @: symbol for including literals

@if(Model.IsCustomEvent)
{
    @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new {  id=Model.EventTitle }) 
    @:hello
}
