Execute html code for a C# variable

Question

Let me explain in detail There is textarea in form. On submitting form,the text of textarea get stored in database. While display those texts from database I want to execute basic html code like ...etc For example:-If user entered "hello" in textarea.Then this word "hello" will display in bold letters.

This is a very dangerous thing to do. The user could also enter client-side scripting and your website would serve that scripting to its users as thought it came from you. — David

If you dump that text directly into a div, does that not work? EDIT: This is of course with the warning that @David has given above. — Ravi Y

As @David mentioned, taking html tags can be dangerous. I would use markdownsharp instead — I4V

Use @Html.Raw( [your HTML code from the database] ) in your View.

@Champ726337: It's pretty much all or nothing with HTML. You could strip anything between <> characters that doesn't match those tags, if you want to dive into the magical lands of Regex.

@Champ726337: In that case: clearify your question. Or at least: ask a question. I had the impression you that the textarea and database part were already done and you could not fix the last step...

I just take an example to explain what I want in last line
