Trying to clean up my MVC3 code

I have some MVC3 Razor code. I am not so familiar with 开发者_Go百科Razor but I can understand what the code is doing. I would like to clean this code up. Is there anything that could be done or is what I have the best possible?

@{ var i=1; foreach (var topic in @Model.Topic)
   {
    <option value="@topic.RowKey">@(i++). @topic.Description</option>
   }
}

Personally, I'd merge the selection of the index of the item with the item in the sequence while iterating, like so:

@{ foreach (var topic in @Model.Topic.
        Select((t, i) => new { Topic = t, Index = i + 1}))
   {
    <option value="@topic.RowKey">@(topic.Index). 
        @topic.Topic.Description</option>
   }
}

This way, you don't have separation the indexing logic from the topic, it's all contained neatly within the anonymous type.

Looks like options for a select list, in which case you might want to be using the built-in @Html.SelectList bits rather than looping through things and writing a string.
