exporting HTML saved in sql server to word in asp.net MVC application

Question

I have a web application developed using ASP.NET MVC, C#, entity framework and SQL Server. I am using a rich editor to save HTML in SQL Server. I am able to render the saved html to webpage correctly using HTML.Raw

<p> @azzedinehtmlsql .Raw(item.TitleContent)</p>

But when I try to export this HTML retrieved using entity framework in my controller class to word document, the HTML formatting is getting messed up. Is there any HTML.Raw equivalent which I can use in my controller class?

Thanks.

Hi @Customer Support ,

the HTML formatting is getting messed up.

How do you now? I tested @azzedinehtmlsql .Raw(message). And then I try to export html to the word and I success. What's your problem?

<div id="Grid">  
    @Html.Raw(message)  
</div>  
  
@using (Html.BeginForm("Export", "Home", FormMethod.Post))  
{  
    <input type="hidden" name="GridHtml" />  
    <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Export" />  
  
}  
  
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>  
<script type="text/javascript">  
        $(function () {  
            $("#btnSubmit").click(function () {  
                $("input[name='GridHtml']").val($("#Grid").text());  
            });  
        });  
</script>  
  
 [HttpPost]  
        [ValidateInput(false)]  
        public EmptyResult Export(string GridHtml)  
        {  
            Response.Clear();  
            Response.Buffer = true;  
            Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Grid.doc");  
            Response.Charset = "";  
            Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word";  
            Response.Output.Write(GridHtml);  
            Response.Flush();  
            Response.End();  
            return new EmptyResult();  
        }  

Best regards,
Yijing Sun
