Html-like and symbols ">" or "<"

[[Nean]]

Hi everyone,

I face a problem in my project, I have a GridView with Html rendering. I use HTML-like tags in my cells. But the data between the tags is written by users. Sometimes, users wrote in the data symbols like ">" (greater than) and "<" (less than). When they do so, the data behind those symbols and the symbol itself are not displayed. Is there any workaround to display the all comment of the user in that case ?

Thanks,

[Nean]

I have found the solution to the problem, you need to add the "\" character before any "<" or ">" which is not part of a tag. So I use the code following :

string comment; // comment of the user
string commentForCell = comment.Replace(">", @"\>").Replace("<", @"\<")

If this might help spmeone...

Hello [Nean],

Thank you for writing.

The more preferred way is to escape these symbols using &gt; for >  and &lt; for <.

I hope this helps.

Please note that we are still expecting an answer from you in ticket (233128) Order of AutoHide DockPanel.
