//if(Session["DetailsID"]!=null)
//{
int id = Convert.ToInt16(Session["BugID"]);
var History = GetBugHistory(id);
return PartialView(History);
//}
//int id1 = Convert.ToInt16(Session["BugID"]);
//var History1 = GetBugHistory(id1);

SqlCommand dCmd = new SqlCommand("History", conn);
dCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
dCmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("#BugID", id));
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(dCmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
conn.Close();
for (int i = 0; i <= ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
var model = new BugModel();
model.FixedBy = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["FixedByEmployee"].ToString();
model.Resolution = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Resolution"].ToString();
model.AssignedTo = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["AssignedEmployee"].ToString();
model.Status = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Status"].ToString();
model.ToStatus= ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["ToStatus"].ToString();
modelList.Add(model);
sb.Append("'" + model.FixedBy + "'" + "has updated the status from" + "'" + model.ToStatus + "'" + "to" + "'" + model.Status + "'" + "and Assigned to" + "'" + model.AssignedTo + "'");
}
return modelList;
}
}
How should i show this string in my partial view page using a foreach loop

Answer 1

anil,
I'd suggest creating a partialview (_BugModelList.cshtml) that handles purely the output display of the BugModel. This may look something like this:
#model IList<BugModel>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Fixed by</th>
<th>From Status</th>
<th>To Status</th>
<th>Assigned to</th>
</tr>
</thead>
#{
foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>#item.FixedBy</td>
<td>#item.ToStatus</td>
<td>#item.Status</td>
<td>#item.AssignedTo</td>
</tr>
}
}
</table>
or, if you wanted the single string as per your controller (untested obviously):
#model IList<BugModel>
#{
foreach (var item in Model)
{
<p>
#{ "'" + item.FixedBy + "'"
+ " has updated the status from "
+ "'" + item.ToStatus + "'"
+ " to " + "'" + item.Status + "'"
+ " and Assigned to " + "'" + item.AssignedTo + "'"; }
</p>
}
}
this would then be called from your main view as per the action that you presently have. Obviously, I've formatted it as table but you can refactor that to suit, the logic remains the same.
[Edit] - re-reading your question, you probably want to present the list as a table, rather than as an unordered list. See edit above
