How to prevent quotes being output as html escape codes in c#

I'm not actually sure this is c# per se but I'm working in a .cshtml file (in episerver).

I'm setting a string variable that includes quotes. This is a simplified version:

@{
    var backgroundcontent = "class='background' data-transition='mytransition'";
    if (Model.CurrentBlock.Photo) {
        backgroundcontent = "class='photo' data-transition='none'";
    }
  }

When this is rendered in the page, I'm getting ' which is great if I'm rendering it inside a tag, but not when I need it in the tag itself.

Am I stuck with the html quotes (and have to do something more complicated like setting two variables for the attributes), or is there a way to override them?

Solution

  • Try Html.Raw(backgroundcontent);, this should prevent default string escaping.
