Having just started with MVC 2 I notice that in their starter template they use
<%: Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%>
and I was sure that in MVC 1 it was
<%= Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%>
Are they the same thing? If so, why the change from equal sign to colon.
the colon syntax means you’ll be html encoded automatically: http://haacked.com/archive/2009/09/25/html-encoding-code-nuggets.aspx
They couldn’t just html encode all the existing
<%=blocks, because things that are already properly encoded (which is hopefully most of the projects out there) would look strange.
