ASP.NET MVC 3 jquery : French accent characters are showing as #233 characters on screen

Question

I have ASP.NET MVC 3 application having resource files in english and french. A text 'Sélectionner la pharmacie' is stored in a french resource file.

When the value is read from resource files with razor syntax, it shows 'S#233;lectionner la pharmacie' instead of 'Sélectionner la pharmacie'.

e.g.
@MyResources.Strings_Resources.lbl_SelectPharmacy

Is there a way I can make it show the french accent characters ?

Answer 1

I suspect that your text is already encoded and razor is trying to encode it again (it encodes all outputs)

Try with

@Html.Raw(MyResources.Strings_Resources.lbl_SelectPharmacy)
