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 makes sure that text is displayed correctly in the browser and 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 the opening or closing bracket of an HTML tag. When the characters are HTML encoded, they are converted to the strings < and >, 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.
