C# Razor Syntax - html.displayfor displaying as text, not html

Question

My models:

    public class htmlDump {
        public string html { get; set; }
    }

    public string getSquares() {
        var sq = (from s in n.squares
                  where s.active == true
                 orderby s.date_created descending
                 select s.html).First();
        return sq;
    }

My controller:

    public ActionResult index() {
        intranetGS.htmlDump sq = new intranetGS.htmlDump {
            html = g.getSquares()
        };

        return View(sq);
    }

My View:

 @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.html)

All I want is for the html being passed to the view to be rendered as html and not as text. Surely there's something different I can use in the view (instead of .DisplayFor) that will work. Any suggestions?

Thanks very much!

For html use `@Html.Raw` answered by @neoistheone – Murali Murugesan Oct 11 '13 at 14:21 — Murali Murugesan, Oct 11 '13 at 14:21

@Html.Raw(Model.html)

NOTE: if this data can be input by the user - make sure it's sanitized.

I tried that, but this is what I got: Cannot convert lambda expression to type object because it is not a delegate type – shubniggurath Oct 11 '13 at 14:24
Perfect - feel like I should've known that one. Thanks! – shubniggurath Oct 11 '13 at 14:27
