    Default Convert string to HTML

    Is there something in .NET that will convert a string so that it can be
    displayed correctly as HTML?

    eg I would like to convert the string "a < b" to "a &#3C; b".

    cheers,
    Paul.

    Hi Paul,

    Try this?

    Server.HtmlEncode("a < b")

    Gives:

    a &lt; b
