I am building my first Razor app and really loving it. I am trying to get the low-down on how to create an editor template that renders out an editable list of items without a foreach loop. Is this possible?

Here are the basics of what I am trying to achieve:

In my view (Views/Image/Homepage.cshtml) I have:

@model List<MyNameSpace.Image>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Homepage Images";
}

@*????*@
@Html.EditorFor(Model => Model)

And in my editor template (Views/Image/EditorTemplates/Image.cshtml??) I have:

@model MyNameSpace.Image

<div>@Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.Title)</div>
<div>@Html.TextBoxFor(Model => Model.LongDescription)</div>

LOL this is embarrassing but worthy of mentioning, the code above works fine, I created a test list in the controller but forgot to pass it to the view :-D
