Exclusion of single quote from MVC 3 Razor View variable

Question

I have a variable inside item.Name that contains the string "It Tuesday!". To alleviate JavaScript errors, in the C # controller, I already avoided this separate quote. On a web page, it looks like this: "It's \ Tuesday!".

This at least prevents any javascript errors, however I don't want the actual line to display a backslash that eluded it.

How can I return to escaping after JavaScript errors have been fixed? This seems like a pretty simple problem, but I'm a little unfamiliar with MVC 3. Any tips are really appreciated! My search did not find me any example specific to this.

An example of my code in the Razor view:

@foreach (var item in Model) { @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Name) // item.Name = "It\ Tuesday!" } 

Answer 1

Create an extension method that you can use or just code directly. I would not code before the view if you do not have a separate property in your view model designed for this (not a bad idea ()

This is not verified, but something like that

 public static class HtmlExtensions { public static IHtmlString JavaScriptEncode(this HtmlHelper html, string item) { return new HtmlString(HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(item)); } }
public static class HtmlExtensions { public static IHtmlString JavaScriptEncode(this HtmlHelper html, string item) { return new HtmlString(HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(item)); } } 

Then you can simply call @ Html.JavaScriptEncode (yourProperty) from the view, or simply refer to your encoded property name.

To prevent output coding, the following can be used again. This, however, relies on you to deal with it yourself yourself.

MVCHTMLString

 @MvcHtmlString.Create(yourString) 

Answer 3

I prefer my views to be dull. Therefore, I have a property called "Display" or "DisplayName" that handled the escaping for the view.
