C# ASP.NET MVC Forms Improving Our Form Using Radio Buttons

A way to loop through enum rather than typing each value?

Rather than using:

<div>
    <label class="radio-inline">
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Intensity, Entry.IntensityLevel.Low)                                     
        @Entry.IntensityLevel.Low
    </label>
    <label class="radio-inline">
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Intensity, Entry.IntensityLevel.Medium)    
        @Entry.IntensityLevel.Medium
    </label>
    <label class="radio-inline">
        @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Intensity, Entry.IntensityLevel.High) 
        @Entry.IntensityLevel.High
    </label>
</div>

Is there a way to loop through the IntensityLevel enum and access their values using an index?

Absolutely! Take a look at this StackOverflow question.

Basically, something like this:

foreach(Foos foo in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foos)))

@foreach (Entry.IntensityLevel intensity in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Entry.IntensityLevel)))
                        {
                        <label class="radio-inline">
                            @Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.Intensity, intensity.ToString())
                            @intensity.ToString()
                        </label>
                        }
