Displaying Umbraco field

Hi all,

Loooking for a bit of help, i have a carousel (uses nivoslider package) which i am altering slightly.

What im trying to do is get it to display the contents on the RTE Small field named 'textBox' within the carousel.

foreach (dynamic img in nodes.Children)
    {
        if (img.HasValue("nivoSliderCaption"))
        {
                <div id="@img.Name" class="nivo-html-caption">
                    @Html.Raw(img.nivoSliderCaption)
                </div>
        }

        if (img.HasValue("textBox"))
        {
               <div class="nivotext">
                    ("<umbraco:Item field="textBox" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>")
                    </div>
        }
    }

The caption works all fine and for the if (img.HasValue("textBox")) if i just use some plain text for example

if (img.HasValue("textBox"))
        {
               <div class="nivotext">
                    @Html.Raw("hello")
                    </div>
        }

It works fine and displays, but i want it to display the contents of the 'textBox' field, any ideas?

Thanks

Hmm I could be wrong, but won't this just work?
```
if (img.HasValue("textBox"))
{
    <div class="nivotext">
           @img.textBox
    </div>                          
}
```

Little note of mine - since it's RTE it looks a bit more correct to use:
```
<div class="nivotext">
   @Html.Raw(img.textBox)
</div> 
```

Why would you add Html.Raw to it? I thought RTE properties would work anyway.

RTE text has a markup inside it - I suspect that its output through @img.textBox will be HTML-escaped. (And that's well-known Razor drawback - it still has no short syntax for unescaped output (like "<%=" vs "<%:" in legacy ASP.NET rendering engine).

Nah, for the built-in Rich text editor datatype, Umbraco will automatically output the Raw HTML if you do @img.textBox.

Sebastian, you have turned up to be right. I've just validate it (I like making everything sure on my own :-)) Text properties of a DynamicNode etc are returned as HtmlString, so there's really no need to bother about HTML encoding. Thanks for a tip.
