Question

I have read several topics (like this one: Database field containing HTML display raw text) but somehow can’t find the solution.

I have this line:

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.Content) // this works, but shows unparsed html

But this does not work:

@Html.Raw(model.Content)

I get an The name 'model' does not exist in the current context error.
Since I used database first. I generated my model from the *.edmx file. So Content is of type String.

thanks in advance!

ps. my first non-webform project.

You want to use Model rather than model:

 @Html.Raw(Model.Content)

When using @Html.DisplayFor the model is automatically passed in and given the name you assigned to it, in this case model.
