I’m trying to make a meta tag in my view based on data in my model…my view code looks like this:

<meta name="description" content="<%=Html.Encode(Model.MetaDescription) %>" />

But my output looks like this: 

meta name="description" content="&lt;%=Html.Encode(Model.MetaDescription) %>" />

What the heck am I doing wrong?

    You are probably adding this meta tag to a <head> tag which is marked at runat="server". Try: 

    <meta name="description" content='<%=Html.Encode(Model.MetaDescription) %>' />

    I don’t have a clear idea about what the actual problem is, as I don’t have the full source, but to workaround:

    <meta name="description" content=<%= "\"" + Html.Encode(Model.MetaDescription) + "\"" %> />
