Figure 11-3. Rendering the scaffold List view
The scaffold view makes a reasonable attempt at setting up a sensible baseline for the view. I have columns for each of the
properties in the Product class and links for the other CRUD operations that target action methods in the Admin controller
(although, since I created that controller without using scaffolding, the action methods do not exist).
The scaffolding is clever, but the views that it generates are bland and so general as to be worthless in a project of any
complexity. My advice is to start with empty controllers, views and layouts and add the functionality you need as and when you
need it.
Returning to the do-it-yourself approach, edit the Index.cshtml file so that it corresponds to Listing 11-4.

@model IEnumerable

ViewBag.Title = "Admin: All Products";
Layout = "∼/Views/Shared/_AdminLayout.cshtml";
