Displaying HTML code

In PHP I can use the following to stop HTML from rendering, so it actually displays html as text on the web page:

$html = "<div开发者_JAVA技巧>Some text</div>";

echo htmlentities($html);

How do I do the same with asp.net pages (vb.net). I am using .NET 3.5.

You could try:

var html = @"<div>Some text</div>";
Response.Write(Server.HtmlEncode(html));

which is the exact translation of your snippet.

BTW, you can find more info on Server.HtmlEncode here.

You could use HttpServerUtility.HtmlEncode for this:

<%= Server.HtmlEncode("<div>Some text</div>") %>

In .NET 4 you could use a shorthand for this:

<%: "<div>Some text</div>" %>

---

Server.HtmlEncode("`<div>Some text</div>`");
