How to make Response.Write Display special character like "<",">"

Question

I want to use Response.Write to display some text on the screen using ASP.NET I created a variable

String s = "There is some <hidden text> which is not visible";
Response.Write(s);

What I found is when the browser only display "There is some which is not visible" any text written in between symbols '<'......'>' is neglected by the browser.

How can I display entire text?

Please advice.

Answer 1

Use HTML Encoding

Server.HtmlEncode("There is some <hidden text> which is not visible");

Answer 2

You can try this:

String s = @"There is some <hidden text> which is not visible";
Response.Write(s);

Answer 3

I'm not familiar with C# so this might not work, but you can escape the < and > by using html escape characters.

< for <

> for >

So maybe try...

String s = "There is some <hidden text> which is not visible";
