Iterating though items of Model in MVC 4 - html

Question

I would like to iterate though the item returned from the foreach(var item in Model). Like for(int i=0; i <item.length; i++) and then subsequently write the individual html code for the items returned by the model.
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to be able to access item.length as the property doesn't exists. Would anyone know how I could iterate through each model item so that I could save up on writing a lot of unnecessary HTML?
So some more context in lieu of the question being unclear:
Let's say my model is
public class RegisterViewModel
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
}
Now I use a DB call to access the model data and parse it to the view via
RegisterViewModel model= db.RegisterViewModel.Where(data => data.Name == User.Name);
Now I pass this model to the view via view(model)
Now to display data for all the students, I can use a
model IEnumerable<Project.Models.RegisterViewModel>
#foreach(item in Model) {
#for(int i=0; i<item.Length;i++) { \\this is where I would like to iterate though the item
if(item[i]!= null) // using a for loop would avoid me having to write this if condition multiple times.
<div>#item[i].value</div>
}
}

You cannot iterate over item because item is of type RegisterViewModel. It doesn't make sense to be doing this.
If you want to display the value you could directly use it like this:
#model IEnumerable<Project.Models.RegisterViewModel>
#foreach(item in Model) {
<div>#item.Value</div>
}
Also bear in mind that the following line of code in your controller is wrong:
RegisterViewModel model = db.RegisterViewModel.Where(data => data.Name == User.Name);
The .Where extension method returns an IEnumerable<T> so you'd rather have:
IEnumerable<RegisterViewModel> model = db.RegisterViewModel.Where(data => data.Name == User.Name);
return View(model);
or if you prefer:
var model = db.RegisterViewModel.Where(data => data.Name == User.Name);
return View(model);
