I have an ASP.NET repeater pulling comment data from a database. In my ItemTemplate I placed some Label server controls bound to the fields (username of poster, date, and post text), but apparently Label does not run the data through HtmlEncode before displaying it. Is there another control I should use? How should I display HTML-encoded data from a repeater?

View 2 RepliesI wish to return the following output
<a href="#"><img src="/images/icons/tick.png" alt="" />More info</a>
If i do the following the content is html encoded.
<%= Html.ActionLink("<img src='/images/icons/tick.png' />More info", "OrderRegion", "Campaign", new {id = Model.Campaign.Id}, null) %>
How can i disable the html encoding?
I've recently upgraded a client's web site to .NET 4 and we've found out during the process that now GridView column values are automatically HTML encoded.
They have wide use of HTML strings in their code so we must turn that off. I know one solution would go over each column and add HtmlEncode="false". My question is - is there a way to set this to be the default for all GridView columns in this application?
I stored in a database a ntext "<b>Hello</b>";
But when I read it from the database I see <b>Hello</b> instead of Hello.
In the html source I see this: <b>Hello</b>]
I have a HyperLink on my usercontrol in which I set onlick event dynamically on the server side like this:
this.Attributes["onclick"] = string.Format("javascript:alert('{0}')", base.NavigateUrl);
The problem is that when Asp.net renders the page, it ends up with something like this
<a href='...' onclick="javascript:alert('TEST')>LINK</a>
which obviously is not valid Javascript. Using " instead of ' wouldn't help neither, the generated HTML is alert("TEST")
I'm using the lovely Html Editor control of AjaxToolkit packet and faced to the following problem:- when a French text is typed like this:"En dépit de la détection d'une possible nouvelle fuite, le responsable des opérations de lutte contre la marée noire a autorisé la compagnie BP à poursuivre pendant 24 heures les tests qu'elle effectue sur le puits endommagé."in code behind from the Editor's property Content I retrieve the text like this:
View 1 RepliesI have an asp.net / C# page which takes a comment, and then emails that comment. Sometimes when the user enters "&" in the comment, the comment is being truncated. So for example if the comment is "test & test" the email only sends out "test ".

I have a GridView bound to a DataTable that I construct. Most columns in the table contain the raw HTML for a hypelinklink, and I would like that HTML to render as a link in the browser, but the GridView is automatically encoding the HTML, so it renders as markup.
How can I avoid this without explicitly adding HyperLink, or any other, columns?
It's great that Razor HTML encodes by default. However, many times I have HTML in a database and want to display it literally on a page. In WebForms 4, we can use <%= %> and <%: %> to choose between encoding options. Raven's syntax is currently @(new HtmlString(Model.Greeting)).
add a shorter syntax to Razor. Something like @=Model.Greeting or @@Model.Greeting, or something else.
I have written a web mailer that can send and receive emails and display them on a webpage.I have a problem displaying special characters though. Like Russian, and Greek and chinese.I am using openpop.net and I can get the encoding of the incoming email as one of my variables.Thing is, how do I display it? Do I set the content encoding of the whole page to what that specific email encoding is?I've got it UTF-8 at the moment and I get garbage.
View 3 RepliesIm pulling out a text field from the database which has and 's in it for line breaks. Which I have left there for pupose of being able to edit the fields later on.
So when i try to display the text I need to replace them which I have done with:
[Code]....
Simple enough. Only when I run the page the source code I get for it is:
<br />
So it seems its not encoding the < as a encode but into the form <
Does anyone know how to stop this happen. Or a method around it?
The following seems reasonable, but it returns an error:
<asp:Repeater ID="RepeaterF" runat="server" DataSourceID="DSF" >
<ItemTemplate>
<%
If Eval("Item_Batch") = 0 Then
%><tr><td></td><td colspan="2"></td><td></td></tr><%
Else %>........
Error: "Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control."
I am finding it difficult to accept that the whole Repeater approach has any benefits over just creating a loop in code, iterating through a recordset, and building a html table into a variable, then dumping it to the page. This repeater is spawning pages of code and objects, and surely this is all using up server resources.
I want to enable comment posting on my page, so i need to execute some html encoding before post is sent and inserted into a database. What is the ideal side for this? Sever side(I work with asp.net) or client side (javascript)?
View 4 RepliesThe problem is to render huge reports. Basically we have lots of data that get rendered in html reports (mostly using repeater or gridview). As it so happens, the data started out small and now we have tons of it. There are lots of such reports already built so total rewrite is not an option. Heck, the business is not even letting us page the data. Now server memory is shooting up each time we try to render some reports. So the question is - is there some way we can bind data to repeater and have it stream html to browser as and when chunks are ready? That way we hope to not bring all that data into app server at once. I'm thinking we'll use a datareader or something to get parts of data and render it to browser.
View 3 RepliesI have a repeater with select html inside the item template.
I could not use dropdown list as it does not support so i had to build select with inside a repeater.
On button click i want get the value of the selected item.
the inside the repeater does not have runat=server.
How can i do this?
I have a table similar to:
ID...NAME.....HTMLTEXT
1....Footer....`<b>test</b>`
where each entry has some HTML text and an associated Name and ID.
What I want to do in ASP.net C# is to list each of these entries on a page in such a way that the HTML text should be displayed exactly how it is meant to be (e.g. <b>test</b> should show 'test' in bold) and each entry should be editable. When the Edit button is clicked on an entry, the HTML text should be replaced by a textbox with the text inside it so that you can edit it and save it.
For example:
FOOTER --EditButton--
TEXT
test
Now I am not sure on what is the best way to do this. Should I use a repeater with an ItemTemplate for each entry? If I use a repeater, and an edit button is clicked, how do I know which edit button is clicked and how do I know which textbox to display the text etc?
Repeater data rendering problem
im using Visual Web Developer Express2005 and language: VB
Example Image of my forum thread that im working:
i encircled in color red the part where i assign the 'content' as you can see above.here EXAMPLE of code in my repeater that populate a <td>(inserting data FROM my database) from my TableField('content')
[Code]....
the part that i encircled in the image above was the data on my tableField named--> 'content'.
The idea was to show not the whole content but to show Only some part of it. example is to show only the 1st 300chars or 100 words.
i tried this code which shows the fist 1-100 chars. [Code]....
Problem is the data i stored in the TableField('content') has other html tagsExample my Tablefield('content') has the following data.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA"><span style="font-size: x-small">All hands worked in the preparation..............
When i use the code .tostring.tosubstring(1, 100) it shows: <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA"><span style="font-size: x-small">All hands worked in the preparation..................
instead of starting at: All hands worked in the preparation.......Is there a way that i could extract first the html tags then use the
.string.tosubstring(1, 100) to make it work.I use the code below temporarily to generate the 'content' as showed in the image above. i limit the height of the lable to 100px which does the trick. but i know its not a good method thats why im trying to look for other methods.
<asp:Label runat="server" Height="100PX" Width="615px"><%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Content")%></asp:Label>

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the row value/inner text from a table I have inside a repeater list. I am using jquery/tableDnD to drag and drop the row at which time I update the row number with the new position.

I have nested a repeater control in Gridview. Right now it is showing gridview rows and repeater header for every case(whether data is there or not for that particular grid view row in the repeater control). I want to hide the gridview row and repeater control header when there is no data present for that particular gridview row. That case I handled at code level by filtering the resulted data table.
Now the another problem I am facing: I have allowed the paging on the gridview i.e. pagesize 3. When page loads it works fine, but when I go to page 2 then it generates following error: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index
Below is the code to fill the grid, paging and fill repeater on rowdatabound event of grid.
