MVC2 table stripping

Simple scripting tip to set an alternate class to each row of a table when rendering the HTML in an MVC2 view.

Here, my view is a typed view and extends system.Web.Mvc.ViewPage

   1:  <table>

   2:        <thead>

   3:          <tr>

   4:            <th>

   5:              Header 1

   6:            </th>

   7:            <th>

   8:              Header 2

   9:            </th>

  10:          </tr>

  11:        </thead>

  12:        <tbody>

  13:          <% 

  14:            var rowClass = "";

  15:            foreach (var item in Model)

  16:            {

  17:              rowClass = string.IsNullOrEmpty(rowClass) 

  18:                          ? "pair" : ""; %>

  19:          <tr class="<%= Html.Encode(rowClass) %>">

  20:            <td>

  21:              <%= Html.Encode(item.Name) %>

  22:            </td>

  23:            <td>

  24:              <%= Html.Encode(item.Firstname) %>

  25:            </td>

  26:          </tr>

  27:          <% } %>

  28:        </tbody>

  29:      </table>

14: There is a private rowClass variable defined as an empty string outside of the foreach loop
17-18: The rowClass variable is alternatively set to "pair" or "" according to its previous value
19: The value of rowClass is rendered as the 's class attribute values

Of course there must be a "pair" class defined in the css.
