Question

I am doing int like this:

Hello <%=  Html.LabelFor(user => user.UserName)%>

But iam getting not a value which is in Property but something strange like this:

Hello User Name,

How can do it to give some value in label out?

Answer 1

The reason for this is because Html.LabelFor will do just that – create a label for the property. In this case, it is producing a label of ‘User Name’ since the property name is UserName.

You just need to look at the model (or whatever your passing to the view) to return the property value: Html.Encode(Model.UserName)

Update (since this was nearly 3 years ago but people have recently upvoted):

You can just use <%: Model.UserName %> to get the HTML encoded value (<%= writes it as raw and <%: writes it encoded).

If you’re using a Razor view engine, then @Model.Username will write it out already encoded.
