How to fetch content from namespace "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.HelperResult" - razor

Question

In ASP.NET Core, I need to fetch the content value from the namespace Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.HelperResult and assign the value in a variable but its assigning the namespace to that variable.
It works fine in MVC when i use namespace System.Web.WebPages.HelperResult and assign that content to variable. (Content are some html elements).
Please, check the picture to find the issue.
My code:
Variable with namespace name as value

Answer 1

In .NET Core HelperResult returns IHtmlContent instead of IHtmlString.
For IHtmlContent it might be convenient to use an extension like the one mentioned here:
public static IHtmlContent GetList(this IHtmlHelper helper)
{
var listHtml = new HtmlContentBuilder();
listHtml.AppendHtml("<ol><li>");
listHtml.AppendHtml(helper.ActionLink("foo", "bar", "example"));
listHtml.AppendHtml("</li></ol>");
return listHtml;
}

Answer 2

Try this (since HelperResult implements IHtmlContent interface):
public static string ToHtmlString(this IHtmlHelper source, IHtmlContent htmlContent)
{
var sb = new StringBuilder();
using (TextWriter tw = new StringWriter(sb))
{
var encoder = (HtmlEncoder)source.ViewContext.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService(typeof(HtmlEncoder));
htmlContent.WriteTo(tw, encoder);
}
return sb.ToString();
}
and call this method in your Razor view like this:
#Html.ToHtmlString(helperResultObject)
