</table>

Which is formatted in html on my .aspx page.

I am doing the following:

<%#  XPath("description").ToString()%>

as description is already in HTML, why is it not showing it to me?

Answer 1

Use Literal Control

<asp:Literal id="Literal1" runat="server" text='<%# XPath("description").ToString() %>' />
