Online Html Decoder

Previous we are converting datatable to unordered list and bind that value to PlaceHolder as a string from c#.

Currently, we are in need to encode the string using System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode

after using this HTML encode left menu not showing its simple showing unordered list code in left side menu. without using Html encode left side menu bind correctly.

we tried with decode the same value but it's not working.

aspx page code

<aside class="main-sidebar">  <section class="sidebar">    <asp:PlaceHolder ID="ControlContainer" runat="server" />  </section></aside>

c# code

HtmlGenericControl ctrl = new HtmlGenericControl();ctrl.InnerHtml = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(GetXML(dt).ToString());ControlContainer.Controls.Add(ctrl);

menu bind correctly when below code used

ctrl.InnerHtml = GetXML(dt).ToString();

when use encode left side menu showing follwoing code

<ul class='sidebar-menu' data-widget='tree'><li class='treeview'><a href='#'><i class=' fa fa-th'></i>....

I'm working with CKEditor. I save and display it's content in Literal control. Data gets saved as follows.

Server.HtmlEncode("..content...");

When i try to display this into literal control by decoding it displays following output.

Server.HtmlDecode(".....");

Output

<p><strong>content</strong></p>

So if i use decode again its giving me expected output as follows:

Server.HtmlDecode(Server.HtmlDecode("....."))

Output

content

Why multiple times HtmlDecode is required. Am i missing something?

I have some HTML stored in a database and I am generating an static HTML file out of it. However when i open the file in the browser, the font doesn't render as I expect it.

I have tracked down the problem and I see it is because of & quot;

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Roboto Regular&quot;;">Some text</span></p>

Now if I replace the & quot; with double quotes, it works fine.

This is also generated through C#. What is the best approach to fix this?Should I just use Replace function to convert them to quotes or is there a library that I can use to do it more efficiently? or is it even simpler to fix.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I am using a rich text editor on my web application when it goes to save the data into the database it convert the ≥ into ≥. Using the WebUtility.HtmlEncode class it will not Encode ≥ into ≥ so I am not sure what is correct?

Is the rich text editor correct should ≥ encode to ≥?

Given the text

<b>This is some text</b>

I want to write it to my page so that it shows up like this:

<b>This is some text</b>

and not like this

This is some text

using escape("<b>This is some text</b>") gives me this lovely gem in firefox

%3Cb%3EThis%20is%20some%20text%3C/b%3E

not exaclty what I'm after. Any ideas?
