    <p>You could group them by 3:</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;Picture&gt; @foreach (var item in Model.Select((value, index) =&gt; new { value, index }).GroupBy(x =&gt; x.index / 3)) { &lt;div&gt; @foreach (var picture in item) { &lt;a href="@picture.value.PicId"&gt; &lt;img height="35px" style="padding-top:3px" src="ImageHandler.ashx?id=@picture.value.PicId" id="pictureMy" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; } &lt;/div&gt; } </code></pre> <p>But honestly this grouping is not something that should be done in the view. You should define a view model and then have your controller action perform the grouping and return the view model. </p> <p>So let's start by defining our view models:</p> <pre><code>public class PictureViewModel { public int PicId { get; set; } } public class GroupedPicturesViewModel { public IEnumerable&lt;PictureViewModel&gt; Pictures { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>then the controller action:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Index() { // fetch the pictures from the DAL or something IEnumerable&lt;Picture&gt; pictures = ... // Now build the view model var model = pictures .Select((value, index) =&gt; new { value, index }) .GroupBy(x =&gt; x.index / 3) .Select(x =&gt; new GroupedPicturesViewModel { Pictures = x.Select(p =&gt; new PictureViewModel { PicId = p.value.PicId }) } ); return View(model); } </code></pre> <p>then the corresponding view:</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;GroupedPicturesViewModel&gt; @Html.DisplayForModel() </code></pre> <p>then the corresponding display template for the <code>GroupedPicturesViewModel</code> type (<code>~/Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates/GroupedPicturesViewModel.cshtml</code>):</p> <pre><code>@model GroupedPicturesViewModel &lt;div&gt; @Html.DisplayFor(x =&gt; x.Pictures) &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>and finally the display template for the <code>PictureViewModel</code> type (<code>~/Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates/PictureViewModel.cshtml</code>):</p> <pre><code>@model PictureViewModel &lt;a href="@Model.PicId"&gt; &lt;img class="image" src="@Url.Content("~/ImageHandler.ashx?id=" + Model.PicId)" alt="" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>One final thing that's bugging me is this anchor. Looks ugly. Don't you think? Looks like spaghetti code. </p> <p>Let's improve it by writing a custom, reusable HTML helper which will render those pictures:</p> <pre><code>public static class HtmlExtensions { public static IHtmlString Picture(this HtmlHelper&lt;PictureViewModel&gt; htmlHelper) { var anchor = new TagBuilder("a"); var picture = htmlHelper.ViewData.Model; var id = picture.PicId.ToString(); var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(htmlHelper.ViewContext.RequestContext); // You probably need another property on your view model here as this // id is suspicious about href but since that's what you had in your // original code I don't know what is your intent. anchor.Attributes["href"] = id; var image = new TagBuilder("img"); image.Attributes["alt"] = ""; image.Attributes["src"] = urlHelper.Content( "~/ImageHandler.ashx?id=" + urlHelper.Encode(id) ); image.AddCssClass("image"); anchor.InnerHtml = image.ToString(); return new HtmlString(anchor.ToString()); } } </code></pre> <p>and then in the display template we will simply have:</p> <pre><code>@model PictureViewModel @Html.Picture() </code></pre> <p>And that's pretty much it. No need to write loops. Everything works by convention.</p>

    3. COI would like thank you once more Darin (I know it is going to be the third) because you helped me really much. I also would like to ask you one more question to clearly understand pictures .Select((value, index) => new { value, index }) .GroupBy(x => x.index / 3) .Select(x => new GroupedPicturesViewModel { Pictures = x.Select(p => new PictureViewModel { PicId = p.value.PicId }) } approach. Is there any chance to limit the count of this query? Like only show the 6 pcs in random order. ?

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.
