Binding a List to a Table

Question

I have the following controller:

  public async Task<IActionResult> Display(SelfServiceTransaction trans)
        {
            Transactions transactions = new Transactions(_recorderContext); 
            List<Author> author = transactions.getAuthors(trans.Id);
            return View();
        }

Below is the list of Author that I am returning from the class:

list of objects:

// Create a List of objects

public List<Author> getAuthors(string id)

{

List<Author> authors = new List<Author>

{

new Author { Name = "Test1", Book = "Apress1", Price = 49.95 },

new Author { Name = "Test2", Book = "Apress2", Price = 19.95 },

new Author { Name = "Test3", Book = "Press3", Price = 29.95 }

};

return authors;

}

I want to create a table in my view that shows all the list of Authors so something like this:

Hi，you can try the following code. Assume you get the 'author' value in the Controller.

        public async Task<IActionResult> Display()
        {
            var author = new List<Author>
            {
                new Author { Name = "Test1", Book = "Apress1", Price = 49.95 },
                new Author { Name = "Test2", Book = "Apress2", Price = 19.95 },
                new Author { Name = "Test3", Book = "Press3", Price = 29.95 }
            };

            return View(author);
        }

And the Display.cshtml

@model List<Author>

<table class="table table-bordered table-responsive table-hover">
    <tr>
        <th>Name </th>
        <th>Book </th>
        <th>Price </th>
    </tr>
    @foreach (var d in Model)
    {
        <tr>
            <td>@d.Name</td>
            <td>@d.Book</td>
            <td>@d.Price</td>
        </tr>
    }
</table>

The output
