In ASP.NET MVC 2 <%: tag was introduced to replace <%= for Html helpers. But what does it mean and what is the difference to the previous one? When shall I use <%= and when <%:?
Thank you
In ASP.NET 4 the
<%: xyz %>syntax will do the same thing as<%= Server.HtmlEncode(xyz) %>did in previous versions. It is simply a shortcut because it is used so often.As Richard says below, it can also determine if a string does not need to be encoded based on whether or not it implements the
IHtmlStringinterface.
