Property Value
Type:
System..::.StringThe HTML content between opening and closing tags of an HTML server control.
Use the InnerHtml property to programmatically modify the contents between the opening and closing tags of an HTML server control.
The InnerHtml property does not automatically encode special characters to and from HTML entities. HTML entities allow you to display special characters, such as the < character, that a browser would ordinarily interpret as having special meaning. The < character would be interpreted as the start of a tag and is not displayed on the page. To display the < character, you would need to use the entity <.
For example, if the InnerHtml property is set to "<b> Hello </b>", the < and > characters are not converted to < and >, respectively. The rendered output would still be: <b> Hello </b>. The browser will detect the <b> tags and display the text, Hello, in a bold font.

|---|
Because the text is not HTML encoded, it possible to embed script within HTML tags in the text. If this property is set dynamically using user input, be sure to validate the value to reduce security vulnerabilities. For more information, see Security and User Input. |
To provide automatic HTML encoding and decoding, use the InnerText property.

If there are no child controls, the InnerHtml property contains the value String..::.Empty. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use the InnerHtml property to dynamically set a text message.
