Html Raw   returns IHtmlString  not the ordinary string  So  you cannot write them in opposite sides of   operator  Remove that  ToString   calling     int count   0    foreach  var item in Model Resources          count  lt   3   Html Raw   lt div class   resource-row   gt     Html Raw              some code       count  lt   3   Html Raw   lt  div gt      Html Raw             count         By the way  returning IHtmlString is the way MVC recognizes html content and does not encode it  Even if it hasn t caused compiler errors  calling ToString   would destroy meaning of Html Raw

You shouldn t be calling  ToString       As the error message clearly states  you re writing a conditional in which one half is an IHtmlString and the other half is a string  That doesn t make sense  since the compiler doesn t know what type the entire expression should be     There is never a reason to call Html Raw      ToString    Html Raw returns an HtmlString instance that wraps the original string  The Razor page output knows not to escape HtmlString instances   However  calling HtmlString ToString   just returns the original string value again  it doesn t accomplish anything

The accepted answer is correct  but I prefer     int count   0     foreach  var item in Model Resources           Html Raw count  lt   3     lt div class   resource-row   gt                  some code       Html Raw count  lt   3     lt  div gt                 count         I hope this inspires someone  even though I m late to the party
