    <p>I'm stuck on a problem trying to get a foreach block of code to work within an mvc controller and viewmodel.</p> <p>What i'm trying to achieve is loop through the datetime values and if less than 60 seconds, show seconds. if more than 60 seconds but less than 1 hour show minutes. else show full datetime.</p> <p>I can get the above to work, but it only displays the 1st record. I have tried putting foreach loops in various places but just cannot seem to get it to work.</p> <p>Would appreciated a fresh pair off eyes to help with this.</p> <pre><code>public class MostRecentPostsViewModel { public List&lt;MembersForumProperties&gt; SelectMostRecentForumPosts { get; set; } public string DateAndTimeOfForumPosts { get; set; } } public class IsPostLessThanOneHour { public static string DisplayPostInMinutesOrSeconds(string displyMostRecentForumPosts) { string displayTime = string.Empty; //foreach (var postTime in mv.SelectMostRecentForumPosts) //{ // dte = postTime.ForumMemberDateTimePostedPost; //} DateTime dtn = DateTime.Now; DateTime timeOfPost = Convert.ToDateTime(displyMostRecentForumPosts); TimeSpan ts = dtn - timeOfPost; if (ts.TotalSeconds &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; ts.TotalSeconds &lt; 60) { displayTime = "about " + ts.Seconds + " seconds ago"; } else if (ts.TotalSeconds &gt; 61 &amp;&amp; ts.TotalSeconds &lt; 3600) { displayTime = "about " + ts.Minutes + " minutes ago"; } else { displayTime = displyMostRecentForumPosts; } return displayTime; } } </code></pre> <p>Controller</p> <pre><code>public PartialViewResult MostRecentMembersPosts() { var displyMostRecentForumPosts = _imf.DisplayMostRecentForumPosts().ToList(); var loopThroughDateTimes = displyMostRecentForumPosts.ToList(); var test = ""; foreach (MembersForumProperties t in loopThroughDateTimes) { test = t.ForumMemberDateTimePostedPost; } var membersMostRecentPost = new MostRecentPostsViewModel { SelectMostRecentForumPosts = displyMostRecentForumPosts, DateAndTimeOfForumPosts = IsPostLessThanOneHour.DisplayPostInMinutesOrSeconds(test) }; return PartialView("pvMostRecentMembersPost",membersMostRecentPost); } </code></pre>

    3. COIf I'm reading this right, you want to return the most recent timestamp from a user's postings? If so, I think you might want to re-engineer this. Call the DB with a query that returns the most recent post timestamp by applying `MAX` and filtering by the author. Then run your logic on the return value to display the appropriate message.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
