Why is Html.Raw escaping ampersand in anchor tag in ASP.NET MVC 4?

Question

I have a URL I would like to render in an anchor tag as-is in a Razor view. I would have thought Html.Raw would be the way to go:

@{
    string test = \"http         


        

Answer 1

just try below... It works perfect.

@{
    string test = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token="+@ViewBag.Token;
}

    @Html.Raw(System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(test))
