“Templates can be used only with field access, property access, single-dimension array index, or single-parameter custom indexer expressions” error

I had the same problem with something like

@foreach (var item in Model)
{
    @Html.DisplayFor(m => !item.IsIdle, "BoolIcon")
}

I solved this just by doing

@foreach (var item in Model)
{
    var active = !item.IsIdle;
    @Html.DisplayFor(m => active , "BoolIcon")
}

When you know the trick, it’s simple.

The difference is that, in the first case, I passed a method as a parameter whereas in the second case, it’s an expression.
