Displaying HTML With [email protected]

Question

_{Wednesday, February 11, 2015 9:05 PM}

I am creating news items with a text editor and save them to SQL. In SQL I confirm that HTML tags are being saved for example <b>Title</b> and <p> Post content</p> in my application officeNews.cshtml I have the following code

 @foreach (var item in Model)
        {
     
     ...
            <p>
                <span class="label label-info">@Html.ActionLink(@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.date).ToString(), "Index", new { sortOrder = ViewBag.DateSortParm })</span>
               
                @Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(item.postContent));
                
               
            </p>
            <p>@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.author)</p>

        <h6>Category: @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.category)</h6>

  </div>
</div>

For some reason When I run locally from visual studio, it works fine, i.e Test , but when I publish to Azure HTML tags are showing <strong>Test</strong>

before I was using  @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =>item.postContent); Which did not work.  and @Html.Raw(item.postContent)) did not work either both locally and remote What can I do to make this work?

Thank you for your help

Hi jaydee,

Based on your code, didn't find the problem from the surface.

I suggest you to try the below code:

@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("<strong>Test</strong>"));

Don't use the value from variable. I suspected there was some strange thing in your value. i.e space, special signs.

Hope this can be helpful to you.

I have a similar project, and I am just using the equivalent to @Html.Raw(item.postContent)
