Random introduction of HTML Tags in ASP.net

Question

I hate asking for help on what I know has to be an easy fix, but for the life of me I can't figure out where my problem lays.

I have a SQL database on my ASP.net project and for some reason, I am now picking up HTML tags in my strings.

For example, this sentence:

"Additional Settings" is completely greyed out.

will turn into this:

@quot;Additional Settings@quot; is completely greyed out.

The sentences are typed in manually so it can't be there, the columns are saved as varchar(max) so I dont think it could be there. When I bring it into a gridview it looks fine. Its when I use:

 GridView1.Rows(0).Cells(5).Text

That I receive my strings with HTML tags.

Why is my gridview exporting strings with html tags when I didnt enter them with html tags and didnt save them with html tags?

Thanks guys for the help.
