Apply different DIV in For each loop - model-view-controller

Question

I am working on MVC 5. Using WEB API, fetch the data now it is time to apply the HTML PAGE design and CSS.
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
if (Model.First() == item)
{
///APPLY FIRST RECORD CSS:- Works FINE
}
else {
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
</div>
</div>
}
}
In the else portion, every time it generates the new ROW for a SINGLE record. But I am interested to display record 2 3 4 in SECOND ROW. 5 6 7 Record in the THIRD ROW and so on.

Answer 1

If it is the first item, open a div and then put the items in it. Close the div when the number of columns is 3 or close the div if the item is at the end of the list.
The following algorithm does this for you
#{
int i = 0;
int columnCounter = 1;
bool newRow = false;
}
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
//add and open div row
if (i == 0 || newRow)
{
newRow = false;
#:<div class="row" style="border:2px solid red;">
}
<div class="col-md-4" style="padding:0;">
<div style="height:40px;background:#f6f6f6;width:100%;text-align:center;">
<span>Column #i</span>
</div>
</div>
//close div row if column count == 3 or reach of end list
if (columnCounter == 3 || i == Model.Count - 1)
{
newRow = true;
columnCounter = 1;
#:</div>
}
else
{
columnCounter = columnCounter + 1;
}
}
result:
