asp.net mvc. Display html string from database

Question

I need to display a data from a database which contains strings like & or «. When I try to display them through Html.Raw or Html.Encode, I've got dublicates values like & for Html.Raw and also bad output for Html.Encode.

What should I try? I use Razor syntax.

Example string: Hello, my name is Junior & I hate «bugs».

I think what you want to do is Decode(), not either of the above. And doesn't MVC automatically do that with the <%: %> syntax? — Cᴏʀʏ

the @Html.Raw(string) should be the proper syntax. Are you sure the string data in the database is not already escaped? — user610217
