WebUtility.HtmlDecode Method (String, TextWriter)

.NET Framework 4.5

.NET Framework 4

Converts a string that has been HTML-encoded into a decoded string, and sends the decoded string to a TextWriter output stream.

Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Syntax

C++

public static void HtmlDecode(
	string value,
	TextWriter output
)

Parameters

value: Type: System.String
The string to decode.

output: Type: System.IO.TextWriter
A TextWriter stream of output.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The output parameter cannot be null if the value parameter is not null.

Remarks

If characters such as blanks and punctuation are passed in an HTTP stream, they might be misinterpreted at the receiving end. HTML encoding converts characters that are not allowed in HTML into character-entity equivalents; HTML decoding reverses the encoding. For example, when embedded in a block of text, the characters < and > are encoded as < and > for HTTP transmission.
