Question

I have an jQuery autocomplete field with non latin characters.

My Controller has this line:

ViewBag.EstadosDeAlma = (from e in db.EstadosDeAlma select e.Title).ToList();

All results in my database are raw, with no encoding.

In my Razor view I have this line:

var data = '@foreach (dynamic item in ViewBag.EstadosDeAlma){ @(item + " ") }'.split(" ");

As autocomplete function, it works really good, but when I try to search for results with stress as “á” it doesnt work.

When i look to the source code in FireFox, I have this:

var data = 'álacre esperançosa hilária ...

I need to have this source code like this:

var data = 'álacre esperançosa hilária'

Could someone help me with this one?

Answer 1

I had to return results as a string, and not as a list.

When I do this, it works:

Controller:

var estadosDeAlma = "";

foreach (var item in db.EstadosDeAlma.ToList())
{
    estadosDeAlma += item.Title + " ";
}

ViewBag.EstadosDeAlma = estadosDeAlma;

View:

var data = '@Html.Raw(ViewBag.EstadosDeAlma)'.split(" ");
