Solution

kindly try this:

@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(blog.Body));

and let me know if it worked.

"its not working" (sic) isn't enough description. Please read tinyurl.com/so-hints and edit your question.

What happens when someone posts JavaScript to the blog? You really should sanitize the HTML unless you can guarantee script will never make it into the DB. SO is all about recycling questions, now folks will read this and think it's OK to use Raw.

Yes, I marked it as an answer. Thanks a lot. Rick thanks a lot for your suggestion, I have already taking care of that. Thanks again.

@RickAndMSFT: Your Point is very valid and relevant. I would be happy if you could provide it as POST / answer( including how to prevent it / handle the html input to save to db)

This ended up working for me as well, is there an explanation as to why this is needed somewhere?
