<tr>
  <td>Eve</td>
  <td>Jackson</td>

I want to pass this as a string from controller to View. where it will be displayed as an html. Thank you.

Answer 1

In your controller action :

ViewBag.HtmlStr = "<table style=\"width:300px\"><tr><td>Jill</td><td>Smith</td> <td>50</td></tr><tr><td>Eve</td><td>Jackson</td><td>94</td></tr></table>";

Your view :

@Html.Raw(ViewBag.HtmlStr)

Answer 2

You can assign the html in controller to ViewBag and access the ViewBag in View to get the value that is the html

Controller

ViewBag.YourHTML = htmlString;

View

<div> @ViewBag.YourHTML </div>

Its better to not to pass the html from controller to View rather pass the object or collection of object to View (strongly typed view) and render html in View as it is responsibility of View

Controller

public ActionResult YourView()
{
    //YourCode
    return View(entities.yourCollection.ToList());
}

Veiw

<table style="width:300px">
    foreach (var yourObject in Model)
    {
       <tr>
             <td>@yourObject.FirstName</td>
             <td>@yourObject.LasttName</td> 
             <td>@yourObject.Amount</td>
       </tr>      
    }
