HttpServerUtility::HtmlEncode Method (String, TextWriter)
HTML-encodes a string and sends the resulting output to a TextWriter output stream.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Parameters
- s
- Type: System::String
The string to encode.
- output
- Type: System.IO::TextWriter
The TextWriter output stream that contains the encoded string.
HTML encoding ensures that text will be correctly displayed in the browser, not interpreted by the browser as HTML. For example, if a text string contains a less than sign (<) or greater than sign (>), the browser would interpret these characters as an opening or closing bracket of an HTML tag. The HTML encoding of these two characters is < and >, respectively, which causes the browser to display the less than sign and greater than sign correctly.
HtmlEncode is a convenient way to access the HttpUtility::HtmlEncode method at run time from an ASP.NET application. Internally, HtmlEncode uses HttpUtility::HtmlEncode to encode strings.
