Convert string with HTML tags in ASP.NET MVC

Question

Is there a way to pass a string with HTML tags without changing the Razor code?

Scenario (current code):

string msg = "<a href='http://www.google.com/html/'>Google</a>";

OUTPUT:

<a href='http://www.google.com/html/'>Google</a> on the page.

GOAL result:

Link to Google without changing the code "@msg".

@Amogh: There's no need to decode first. In fact, unless, you know you're dealing with an encoded HTML string, this is likely to result in invalid HTML, as things like &, which should be output exactly as is to the page, will end up as & which is invalid. — Chris Pratt

try @Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(msg));

You can try with

HtmlString msg = new HtmlString("<a href='http://www.google.com/html/'>Google</a>");

instead of

string msg = "<a href='http://www.google.com/html/'>Google</a>";

I apologized, I need to clarify further. Since I cannot change and Razor code, is there a way to construct the content of the string so that it converts its content into HTML tags/elements.

You can use HtmlString in the controller, so you don't touch the razor code.

Sorry this should be last add for me - no code change besides string "msg" content. No Razor or any .NET/MVC code changes. The string value is retrieved from external source (database).

Hey You can edit your razor code as:

@{

     HtmlString msg = new HtmlString("Hello <br> Hello Again");
     <p style="text-align:justify;"> @msg  </p>
 }

It's simple

I will put this here just in case it saves time someone i the future - using Html.Raw did not seem to help in a razor component on .Net 8 . Using conversion to MarkupString did solve the issue

<p>Your text msg: @((MarkupString) msg) </p>
