BoundField::HtmlEncodeFormatString Property
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether text that is created by applying the DataFormatString property to the BoundField value should be HTML encoded when it is displayed.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
public: property bool HtmlEncodeFormatString { virtual bool get(); virtual void set(bool value); }
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the text should be HTML-encoded; otherwise, false. The default is true.
HTML-encoding values can help prevent cross-site scripting attacks and malicious content from being displayed. HTML encoding is also useful when you want to display HTML code in the browser, such as displaying the string "<br/>" instead of inserting a line break (<br/> element) in the page.

This property is new in ASP.NET 3.5. Setting this property to false restores the default behavior of the DataFormatString property in versions of ASP.NET earlier than 3.5. For more information, see the DataFormatString property. |
