I am working with visual studio building a bookstore website for a class project and I am having trouble getting my strings to encode. 

I basically print out the link to the details of a specific book

```
@Html.ActionLink(@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Title).ToString(), "Details", new { id = item.BookID })

```

With the title of the book (which is pulled straight from the database) contained as a parameter that is supposed to be displayed text.

```
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Title).ToString()

```

But the issue is my output on the front end looks like this

![This is my output](https://i.stack.imgur.com/jvygL.png)

How do I overcome this?

I have tried decoding to bytes then re-encoding, but to no avail. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
