In MVC while creating views we need to show data in the page which contain the different kind of HTML controls.

For this we have one control called the @Html.DisplayFor that is like a label we have in HTML.

So it is mainly used to only display data in the view.

We will first create action for the employee model.

 public ActionResult Index()
        {
            EmpRep = new EmployeeRepository();
            List<EmployeeModel> EmpMod = new List<EmployeeModel>();
            EmpMod = EmpRep.GetDetails().ToList();
            return View(EmpMod);
        }

After doing that we will create the view that will show the data for the entity values that we get from the database.

@model IEnumerable<Modal_PopUp_Basic.Models.EmployeeModel>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}



<h2>Index</h2>

<p>
    @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")
</p>
<table class="table">
    <tr>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.EmpId)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.FirstName)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.MiddleName)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.LastName)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.PhoneNo)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Address)
        </th>
        <th>
            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.msg)
        </th>
        <th></th>
    </tr>

    @foreach (var item in Model)
    {
        <tr>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.EmpId)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.FirstName)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.MiddleName)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.LastName)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.PhoneNo)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Address)
            </td>
            <td>
                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.msg)
            </td>
            <td>
                <a class="lnkEdit" id='@item.EmpId'>Edit</a> | |
                @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.EmpId }, new { @class = "lnkDetail" }) |
                @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.EmpId }, new { @class = "lnkDelete" })
            </td>
        </tr>
    }
