From where is the JsonResult usually called? Another action or an actionlink rendered in the html?

Can you give me some examples where you want json instead of a typical view?

        <ul class="searchList">
            @if (Model.Count() > 0)
            {
                foreach (var partner in Model)
                {
                    <li>
                        @Html.ActionLink(@partner.Name, "Details", "Partner", new { id = partner.AID }, null)<br />
                        @partner.Street<br />
                        @partner.CityStateZip<br />
                        @if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(partner.Phone))
                            {
                               @partner.Phone<br />
                            }
                        @(partner.Distance) miles<br />
                    </li>
                }
            }
        </ul>

But this code does not work fine...

            @if (Model.Count() > 0)
            {
                <ul class="searchList">

                        foreach (var partner in Model)
                        {
                            <li>
                                @Html.ActionLink(@partner.Name, "Details", "Partner", new { id = partner.AID }, null)<br />
                                @partner.Street<br />
                                @partner.CityStateZip<br />
                                @if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(partner.Phone))
                                    {
                                       @partner.Phone<br />
                                    }
                                @(partner.Distance) miles<br />
                            </li>
                        }

                </ul>
             } 

The second error one returns the following error...

Compiler Error Message: CS0103: The name 'partner' does not exist in the current context.

I am finding the code mixing rules of Razor to be difficult to follow. Any link that gives the canonical explanation will be appreciated.

I want to do something like this....

@(string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.CustomerUrl) ? "" : <a href="@Model.CustomerUrl">Click me</a>)

This snippet doesn't work.

The mixing of the html with the razor syntax and the inclusion of quotes in the attributes of the tags is making it hard to figure out.

I love razor except figuring out this kind of stuff is really tripping me up.

I would love to just not render the following at all if the CustomerUrl was null or empty...

<p class="customerLink links"><a href="@Model.CustomerUrl">@Model.CustomerName</a></p>

This morning when I try to load the same project in Visual Studio the project hangs. I have restarted my computer, disabled all add-ons and extensions that I could. Still no banana.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I would try to clean the solution if I could get it to load but I can't. (Can I clean the solution from the VS command window?).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. How do I troubleshoot this?
