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 on my cshtml page it gives me parse error
CS0103: The name 'test' does not exist in the current context
How do I escape '@' character?
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 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
this is what worked for me in my code:
https://unpkg.com/%40google/markerclustererplus@4.0.1/dist/markerclustererplus.min.js
just add a variable in CSHTML file
var myVariable = @"@";
and add it to your layout
<span class="my-class"><a href="@myVariale" target="_blank" >link text</a></span>
I couldn't get any of these to work inside my placeholder attribute, so I used xml special character.
<input type="text" placeholder="fex: firstname@lastname.com"/>
See more examples here. https://www.dvteclipse.com/documentation/svlinter/How_to_use_special_characters_in_XML.3F.html
Actually @ should be used with the Razor syntax Keywords or to the variable/model to bind a Value.
For Eg: if test is assigned with value i.e @ { var test = "ABC" } then you can get the value by settings as @test anywhere is cshtml page in html part. otherwise, simple use as @Html.DisplayName("test")
