I have an asp mvc application. in a view i have this snippet:

The result is false because of the special caracter @. So how can i avoid this error and read exactly the label?

If you want to display the email address, Use DisplayFor html helper method.

If Mail is a property of the Model passed, You can do it like this

@Html.DisplayFor(x=>x.Mail)

If Mail is a property of of a sub collection of your model, you can display it like this

@foreach (var i in Model.Contacts)
{
    <div> @Html.DisplayFor(s=>i.Mail)</div>
}

If your question is how do you escape @ in Razor, the way to do it is @@.

Or you can try to write just the text-> something like <label>@admin.Mail</label>

EDIT

You can also give this a shot:

@Html.Display(admin.Mail)

You mean `@@Html.Label(admin.Mail)` or `@Html.Label(@admin.Mail)`. twice give me a fault result – Lamloumi Afif May 22 '13 at 12:53

Wrap your text with <text></text> tags, for example <text>mail@gmail.com</text>
