I have a text in the DB:My new text is a good text.

I want "My new text" was as Bold style. But I have original text on my site (My new text is a good text). How I can make text format from DB?

<% foreach (var category in Model) { %><br />
<h2> <%: category.CategoryName %> </h2><br />
<% foreach (var service in category.Trd_TrodarService){%><br />
        <h5> <%: service.ServiceName %> </h5><br />
    <%} %><br />
<%} %>

Thank you.

By using the tag <%: ... %> the content is encoded to display the HTML with the tags visible on the browser and not being interpreted. If you have content in your DB in the form of:

"<b>My new text</b> is a good text."

using the <%: "My new text is a good text." %> will output this this on the browser:

My new text is a good text.

While using the tag <%= "My new text is a good text." %> will output this this on the browser:

My new text is a good text.

Problem with the first tag you used was that the HTML was encoded so it would be displayed, but not interpreted .

Regards,
Manfred

Not entirely sure what you mean but I'll guess that you want to preserve the format of the data. One way might be to include, for instance, text or add some other tokens denoting the format in the string and parse them out.

You could also rewrite your code as (if appropriate):

<% foreach (var category in Model) { %>
    <strong><%: category.CategoryName %></strong>
<% } %>

Like the use of <%: for encoding; first time I've seen someone use it. :thumbsup:
