Show HTML field from the database in ASP.NET MVC3 view

Question

I feel like this should be easy, but it seems to be stumping me.

I have a database field that contains HTML. For instance, the field may contain the following:

<html>
 <p>This is HTML from the database.</p>
</html>

Now, all I want to do is render this HTML onto the page. Instead it is displaying the actual HTML markup.

I am sure this is simple, but I have been searching around for a while and have yet to find a solution.

Thanks in advance for any help! Be easy on me:)

Real curious as to why I got a downvote weeks after I accepted my answer. Love StackOverflow, but some of the people in the community are ODD. — MattW

Try

Decoded

@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.YourHtmlContent));

Unenconded

@Html.Raw(Model.YourHtmlContent);

if you're using razor views use

@Html.Raw(model.foo)
