Answer 1

you want to use @Html.Raw(str)

See MSDN for more

Returns markup that is not HTML encoded.

This method wraps HTML markup using the IHtmlString class, which renders unencoded HTML.

Answer 2

try

<%= System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(yourEncodedHtmlFromYouDatabase) %>

more info here @ MSDN online.

hth!

Answer 3

The answer provided by Pure.Krome is flawless for MVC2, but consider Razor syntax:

@Html.Raw(System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.yourEncodedHtmlFromYourDatabase))

Alternatively,

@Html.Raw(Server.HtmlDecode(Model.yourEncodedHtmlFromYourDatabase))
