its interesting with this @ compiler couldnt decide when used abnormally, for example if i use it like this

@functions{
    public IHtmlContent RenderSubButton(ButtonModel button)
    {
        var @appIcn = "blabla";

        return @Html.Raw(@"<a href='@Url.Action(" + button.Action + ", " + button.Controller + ", " + button.RouteValues + ")' class='" + button.Class + "' " + button.Binding.ToDataAttributes() + ">"
           + button.Text
           + @appIcn + "</a>");
        }
}

appIcon will not work but if i use

@functions{
    public IHtmlContent RenderSubButton(ButtonModel button)
    {
        var @appIcn = "blabla";

        return @Html.Raw(@"<a href='@Url.Action(" + button.Action + ", " + button.Controller + ", " + button.RouteValues + ")' class='" + button.Class + "' " + button.Binding.ToDataAttributes() + ">"
           + button.Text
           + appIcn + "</a>");
        }
}

then it will work. Difference is appIcn has @ this on head on first, no need to it

Your code is working fine for me.

Here's a more concise way of writing it, though. See if it somehow works for you:

<p>
    @if (course.Description.Length > 100)
    {
        @course.Description.Substring(0, 100) @:"..."
    }
    else
    {
        @course.Description
    }
</p>

If you're still having issues, something else could be wrong with the surrounding code in your Razor page, or your project isn't referencing the proper assemblies? Try running the same code inside a new, blank ASP.NET project.

I think the "course" in your if statement is missing an '@'. Try: 

<p> 
      @{ 
      if(@course.Description.Length > 100)
      {
       @course.Description.Substring(0, 100)  @:"..."
      }
      else
      {
      @course.Description;
      }
    }
 </p>
