Escape @ character in razor view engine

Question

I am creating a sample ASP.NET MVC 3 site using Razor as view engine. The razor syntax starts with @ character e.g. @RenderBody(). If I write @test

Answer 1

For the question about @RazorCodePart1 @@ @RazorCodePart2, you need to the sequence:

@RazorCodePart1 @:@@ @RazorCodePart2

I know, it looks a bit odd, but it works and will get you the literal character '@' between the code blocks.

Answer 2

@@ should do it.

Answer 3

@@ is the escape character for @ in Razor views as stated above.

Razor does however try to work out when an '@' is just an '@' and where it marks C# (or VB.Net) code. One of the main uses for this is to identify email addresses within a Razor view - it should not be necessary to escape the @ character in an email address.

Answer 4

I just had the same problem. I declared a variable putting my text with the @.

@{
   var twitterSite = "@MyTwitterSite";
}

...

<meta name="twitter:site" content="@twitterSite">

Answer 5

I know this question is old, but I tried all of the above and it didn't help me escape the character "@" in ASP.NET full framework (MVC 5) inside a URL. Based on Terje Solem's answer though, the UTF-8 code %40 worked for me. this is the original URL I was trying to reach:

https://unpkg.com/@google/markerclustererplus@4.0.1/dist/markerclustererplus.min.js

and with with the code in it:

https://unpkg.com/%40google/markerclustererplus@4.0.1/dist/markerclustererplus.min.js

Answer 6

@Html.Raw("@") seems to me to be even more reliable than @@, since not in all cases @@ will escape.

Therefore:

<meta name="twitter:site" content="@twitterSite">

would be:

<meta name="twitter:site" content="@Html.Raw("@")twitterSite">
