IEnumerable<Twitter Status> View Output MVC 5 - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am trying to output a set of tweets with a certain hashtag.
I have the following code in the controller:
public ActionResult Test() {
var service = new TwitterService("xxx", "xxx");
service.AuthenticateWith("xxx", "xxx");
var options = new SearchOptions { Q = "#test" };
TwitterSearchResult tweets = service.Search(options);
IEnumerable<TwitterStatus> status = tweets.Statuses;
ViewBag.Tweets = status;
//var tweets = service.Search(options);
return View();
}
I want to output the results that are in the IEnumerable in a view.
But I am finding it difficult to output these results in a view. Can anyone help please?

Your question is a bit vague but I think I understand your problem.
You'll want to pass the data into your view from your action.
public ActionResult Test() {
var service = new TwitterService("xxx", "xxx");
service.AuthenticateWith("xxx", "xxx");
var options = new SearchOptions { Q = "#test" };
TwitterSearchResult tweets = service.Search(options);
IEnumerable<TwitterStatus> status = tweets.Statuses;
//var tweets = service.Search(options);
return View(status);
}
Notice I pass in the status object into the view.
Now in your view you can just bind that object.
#model IEnumerable<TwitterStatus>
#foreach(var status in Model){
<div>
#status.Id #*Id is an exmaple property. Use the actual properties inside "TwitterStatus"*#
</div>
}
Edit:
If you want to have multiple things inside your page you'll have to use Partial Views.
You'll need a view that will encompass all your other partial views. To do this, just define a action for your twitter info that will be your parent view.
public ActionResult AllInfo() {
return View();
}
Then your razor:
//AllInfo.cshtml
#Html.Action("Test", "YourController")
In AllInfo.cshtml we call the action "Test" inside "YourController". We'll change "Test" to return a PartialView instead of a View.
public ActionResult Test() {
var service = new TwitterService("xxx", "xxx");
service.AuthenticateWith("xxx", "xxx");
var options = new SearchOptions { Q = "#test" };
TwitterSearchResult tweets = service.Search(options);
IEnumerable<TwitterStatus> status = tweets.Statuses;
return PartialView(status);
}
The razor stays the same for your partial view:
//Test.cshtml
#model IEnumerable<TwitterStatus>
#foreach(var status in Model){
<div>
#Model.Id #*Id is an exmaple property. Use the actual properties inside "TwitterStatus"
</div>
}
You can call #Html.Action() as many times as you want in your AllInfo.cshtml page and add all the PartialViews you need.
