Question

PHP has a great function called htmlspecialcharacters() where you pass it a string and it replaces all of HTML’s special characters with their safe equivalents, it’s almost a one stop shop for sanitizing input. Very nice right?

Well is there an equivalent in any of the .NET libraries?

If not, can anyone link to any code samples or libraries that do this well?

Answer 1

Try this.

var encodedHtml = HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(...);
