How to display C# code as simple text in the MVC view?

Question

I have MVC website, and I would like to show some code snippets as text on my website. Something like this:

List<ImageInfoModel> imgList = new List<ImageInfoModel>();
string imgPath = @"~/Content/Images/ImageGallery/";
string tmbPath = @"~/Content/Images/ImageGallery/thumbnails/";

string imgFullPath = Server.MapPath(imgPath);
string tmbFullPath = Server.MapPath(tmbPath);

If I simply copy and paste this into my view with

code text

it messes things up because of @ symbol.

So my question is: How can I display C# code inside my view?

Thanks in advance.

check out @Html.Raw as a starting point.

In your View file, add a @ wherever you start razor syntax. This will escape the Razor codes and treat it like a html code.

List<imageinfomodel> imgList = new List<imageinfomodel>
();
string imgPath = @@"~/Content/Images/ImageGallery/";
string tmbPath = @@"~/Content/Images/ImageGallery/thumbnails/";

string imgFullPath = Server.MapPath(imgPath);
string tmbFullPath = Server.MapPath(tmbPath);

If its directly from a model why not try @Html.Raw~~or if its in the view you could prefix the statements with @:~~.

@: doesn't stop razor statement processing. so @:@model.prop is so cool will still output the value of model.prop.

Use this: Code behind:

        string Sk = "List&lt;ImageInfoModel&gt; imgList = new List&lt;ImageInfoModel&gt;();<br/>";
        Sk += "string imgPath = @";
        Sk += "\"~/Content/Images/ImageGallery/\";<br/>";
        Sk += "string tmbPath = @";
        Sk += "\"~/Content/Images/ImageGallery/thumbnails/\";<br/>";
        Sk += "string imgFullPath = Server.MapPath(imgPath);<br/>string tmbFullPath = Server.MapPath(tmbPath);";
        ViewBag.Sk = Sk;

View: @Html.Raw(ViewBag.Sk)
