Solution 1

To display just the value, you can use

@Html.DisplayNameFor(m=>m.labelvalue)

Or if you want to display the label element with value, you can use

@Html.LabelFor(m=>m.labelvalue, Model.labelvalue)  

The first param is the value of the name, and the 2nd param is the value of the label.

Solution 2

Change

@Html.LabelFor(m=>m.labelvalue)

to

<label>@Model.labelvalue</label>

(or leave out the label tags, if you don't need them).

The @-operator will take whatever you give it and turn it into a string, HTML-encode that string (unless what you gave it was an IHtmlString) and render the encoded string in the output.

Html.LabelFor, on the other hand, is intended to be used with a form model. Let's say you have a model like this

public class PersonForm
{
  public string Firstname { get; set;}
  public string Lastname { get; set;}
}

and an action medthod accepting this form as an argument:

public ActionResult CreatePerson(PersonForm form){
  /* Create new person from form */
}

Now, in your view, to display a label for the Firstname field, you use Html.LabelFor():

@model PersonForm

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Firstname)

This will render something like <label for="Firstname">Firstname</label>. If you instead wanted to render something like <label for="Firstname">Please enter firstname</label> you would attach an attribute to the Firstname property:

public class PersonForm
{
  [Display(Name = "Please enter firstname")]
  public string Firstname { get; set;}

  [Display(Name = "Please enter lastname")]
  public string Lastname { get; set;}
}

where the attributes are from the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace.
