HttpServerUtility.HtmlEncode Method (String, TextWriter)
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
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 < or > characters, the browser would interpret these characters as part of HTML tags. The HTML encoding of these two characters is < and >, respectively, which causes the browser to display the angle brackets correctly.
HtmlEncode is a convenient way to access the System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode method at run time from an ASP.NET Web application. Internally, HtmlEncode uses System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode to encode strings.
The following code example encodes a string for transmission by HTTP. It encodes the string named TestString, which contains the text "This is a <Test String>.", and copies it into the string named EncodedString as "This is a &lt;Test String&gt;.".
String testString = "This is a <Test String>."; StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); get_Server().HtmlEncode(testString, writer); String encodedString = writer.ToString();
var testString : String = "This is a <Test String>." var writer : StringWriter = new StringWriter() Server.HtmlEncode(testString, writer) var encodedString : String = writer.ToString()
