How to Json.Encode a string and use it as Value for Hidden Input field?

Question

Does anyone see why this controller/view code is rendering incorrectly?

Controller:

ViewBag.tempString = "some temp string";

...

Razor View:

<input id="tempJson" type="hidden" value="@Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewBag.tempString))" />

renders as:

<input id="tempJson" type="hidden" value some temp string"">

Answer 1

The value of @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewBag.tempString)) is already a string. So try like this:

value= @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(ViewBag.tempString))
