Html.Raw() in ASP.NET MVC Razor view

Html.Raw() returns IHtmlString, not the ordinary string. So, you cannot write them in opposite sides of : operator. Remove that .ToString() calling

@{int count = 0;}
@foreach (var item in Model.Resources)
{
    @(count <= 3 ? Html.Raw("<div class=\"resource-row\">"): Html.Raw("")) 
    // some code
    @(count <= 3 ? Html.Raw("</div>") : Html.Raw("")) 
    @(count++)

}

By the way, returning IHtmlString is the way MVC recognizes html content and does not encode it. Even if it hasn’t caused compiler errors, calling ToString() would destroy meaning of Html.Raw()
