    problem
    cannot apply index with [ ] to an expression of type Icollection mvc view asp.net core 2.1 

    Code:

    public class SalesHeader
    {
        public SalesHeader()
        {

        }
        public int SalesYear { get; set; }
        public int BranchCode { get; set; }
        public ICollection<SalesFooter> SalesFooters { get; set; }
    }


    What I have tried:

    Code:

    @for (var i = 0; i < Model.SalesFooters.Count; ++i)
                   {
                       <tr>
                           <td>
                               @Html.EditorFor(f => f.SalesFooters[i].ItemCode)
                           </td>
                           <td>
                               @Html.EditorFor(f => f.SalesFooters[i].Quantity)
                           </td>
                           <td>
                               @Html.EditorFor(f => f.SalesFooters[i].UnitPrice)
                           </td>
                       </tr>
                   }


    it show my in for loop above compile error

    cannot apply index with [ ] to an expression of type Icollection mvc view asp.net core 2.1

    Place Of ERROR

    the error show on view Edit under f.salesfooter[i] on for loop because indexing is applied to list

    and i use collection

    An ICollection cannot be addressed by an [] indexer. The property would need to be changed to a List<t>.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.icollection-1?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=netframework-4.7.2

    <copied>

     A IList<T> implementation is a collection of values, and its members can be accessed by index, like the List<T> class.

    <end>

    If the class is a virtual model object used by EF, then maybe,  it's best to use a viewmodel and send the viewmodel into the view.
