XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName Method
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Converts the name to a valid XML local name.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Parameters
- name
- Type: System.String
The name to be encoded.
This method is similar to the EncodeName method except that it encodes the colon character, which guarantees that the name can be used as the local name part of a namespace qualified name.
For example, if you passed this method the invalid name a:b, it returns a_x003a_b, which is a valid local name.
If name is null or String.Empty then you get the same value returned.
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(); // Encode and decode a name with spaces. string name1 = XmlConvert.EncodeName("Order Detail"); output.AppendLine("Encoded name: " + name1 ); output.AppendLine("Decoded name: " + XmlConvert.DecodeName(name1)); // Encode and decode a local name. string name2 = XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName("a:book"); output.AppendLine("Encoded local name: " + name2); output.AppendLine("Decoded local name: " + XmlConvert.DecodeName(name2)); // Display the output to the TextBlock control OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
