C# Escaping double quotes with String interpolation in Razor?
What you need is to use the seldom seen <text>
syntax
e.g.
<h1 @{if (true) { <text>data-selected="Hello world"</text> } }>Hello</h1>
try this:
<select class="form-control"
@{ if (field.DependentDropdown) { <text>data-selected="@Model.KeyValues.GetValue(field.Name)"</text> } }>
I'm having a tough time convincing it to work in the ternary operator - feel free to edit answer if you get the syntax right
Wrap the string in a call to the Raw() method on the HtmlHelper class.
<select class="form-control"
@(field.DependentDropdown ? Html.Raw($"data-selected=\"{Model.KeyValues.GetValue(field.Name)}\"") : "")>
