ASP.NET MVC show collection of data in View inside of TextArea <p>I access data with:</p> <pre><code> public ActionResult Index() { //IEnumerable&lt;ChatLogs&gt; c = from p in db.ChatLogs select p; //return View(c); using (var db = new ChatLogContext()) { var list = db.ChatLogs.ToList(); return View(list); } } </code></pre> <p>I would like to know how to save this collection of data inside of TextArea in View? When we used webforms we could just textBox.Text = textBox.Text + "some data from database";</p> <p>View:</p> <pre><code>@model IEnumerable&lt;Chat.Models.ChatLogs&gt; @Html.TextArea("chatScreen", new { @Class = "chatScreen" }) </code></pre> <p>Thank you.</p>
