HTML from database displays as plain text

I am using Code First and I am introducing test data into the data base everytime the model changes. The problem comes when I do the following:

 context.News.Add(new News
            {
                Id = 3,
                NewsTitle = "title",
                NewsImage = "thumb.jpg",
                NewsText = "text",
                Venue = @"<iframe width=""1000"" height=""350"" frameborder=""0"" scrolling=""no"" marginheight=""0"" marginwidth=""0"" src=""https://maps.google.ro/maps?hl=ro&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;t=h&amp;ll=46.778815,23.614479&amp;spn=0.002572,0.010718&amp;z=17&amp;output=embed""></iframe>"
             });

I have tried with \ instead of double quotes too...still nothing. The problem is that when I use the "Venue" on the page, it displays as plain text:

<div style="margin-top: 10px;">
     @News.Venue
</div>

What should I do to get it as html?

There is a specific MvcHtmlString class that is designed to store strings that are HTML-encoded and should not be encoded again when rendering.

Use

@Html.Raw(News.Venue)

This will output News.Venue in raw HTML, unencoded. See HtmlHelper.Raw on MSDN for more information. You may of course want to be careful of the content in .Venue, if it comes from a third party, and sanitise it from scripts or unwanted content.
