Display encoded html with razor

I store encoded HTML in the database.

The only way i could display it correctly is :

<div class='content'>    
   @MvcHtmlString.Create(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.Content));
</div>

It's ugly. Is there any better way to do this?

Solution 1:

Try this:

<div class='content'>    
   @Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.Content))
</div>

Solution 2:

Use Html.Raw(). Phil Haack posted a nice syntax guide at http://haacked.com/archive/2011/01/06/razor-syntax-quick-reference.aspx.

<div class='content'>
    @Html.Raw( Model.Content )
</div>

Solution 3:

this is pretty simple:

HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.Content)

Another Solution, you could also return a HTMLString, Razor will output the correct formatting:

in the view itself:

@Html.GetSomeHtml()

in controller:

public static HtmlString GetSomeHtml()
{
    var Data = "abc<br/>123";
    return new HtmlString(Data);
}
