How to display in View List<string>

In View "Index" output list of users, their names, messages date, messages. And near with every have link "Info". How to display in View "Info" List<string> ListMessage of user after click on link "Info"? Output only is empty table :(

ASP.NET is a hardcore.

This is my Model:

public class User
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Message { get; set; }
    public List<string> ListMessage { get; set; }
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
}

My Controller:

[HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(User user)
    {
        IEnumerable<User> users = db.Users;
        if (user.Name == users.Where(i => i.Name == user.Name).ToString())
        {
            user.ListMessage = new List<string>();
            user.ListMessage.Add(user.Message);          
        }
        user.ListMessage = new List<string>();
        user.ListMessage.Add(user.Message);
        ViewBag.Customers = users;
        user.Date = DateTime.Now;
        db.Users.Add(user);
        db.SaveChanges();            
        return View();
    }
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Info(int id)
    {
        IEnumerable<User> users = db.Users;
        ViewBag.Customers = users;
        var c = new User();
        c.ListMessage = new List<string>();
        ViewBag.Messages = c.ListMessage;
        return View(c.ListMessage);
    }

And View "Info":

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "All messages";
}
@using MessageBank.Models
@model List<string>
        <table>               
            <tr>
                <td><p>Id</p></td>
                <td><p>Name</p></td>
                <td><p>Time</p></td>
                <td><p>Message</p></td>
                <td></td>
            </tr>
            @foreach (var el in Model)
            {
            <tr>
                <td><p>@Html.DisplayFor(m => el)</p></td>
                <td><p>@el</p></td>
            </tr>
            }
        </table>

It looks like you want to get the user matching an id. You also need to populate user.ListMessage You could try this:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Info(int id)
{
    // get user with user.Id == id
    User user = db.Users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == id);

    if (user == null)
    {
        // handle null
    }

    // populate listmessage
    user.ListMessage = new List<string> { user.Message };

    // send a List<string> to view
    return View(user.ListMessage);
}

Then the table should be populated in the view using the foreach loop.

If you prefer, you could return a user to the Info view. In that case you can change to:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Info(int id)
{
    User user = db.Users.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Id == id);    

    // populate ListMessage
    user.ListMessage = new List<string> { user.Message };

    // return User model to view    
    return View(user);
}

Then in the view update the foreach to something like this:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "All messages";
}

@model YourNamespace.Models.User

    <table>   
        <tr>
            <th>Message</th>     
        <tr>           

        @foreach (var el in Model.ListMessage)
        {
            <tr>
                <td>@Html.DisplayFor(m => el)</td>
            </tr>
        }
    </table>

   // you can access Model.Id, Model.Name, Model.Date, Model.Message in this view too

        user.ListMessage = new List<string>() { user.Message };
        return View(user.ListMessage);
    }

View:

<body>
    <div>

        <table>        
            <tr>
                <td><p>Message</p></td>
            </tr>

            {
                <tr>

                    @*<td><p>@el</p></td>*@
                </tr>
            }
        </table>
        @foreach (var el in Model)
        {
            <ul>
                <li><p>@Html.DisplayFor(m => el)</p></li>
                @*<td><p>@el</p></td>*@

You did not init values for ListMessage. I tried to init c.ListMessage = new List<string> { "Test1", "Test2" };

 [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Info(int id)
    {
        IEnumerable<User> users = db.Users;
        ViewBag.Customers = users;
        var c = new User();
        c.ListMessage = new List<string> { "Test1", "Test2" };
        ViewBag.Messages = c.ListMessage;
        return View(c.ListMessage);
    }

It show Test1 and Test2 value in the table.

Also not sure why you assign 2 ViewBags without using them?

May be you want c.ListMessage = db.Users.Select(c=>c.Message).ToList() ?
