I have a label like this in a page.
when you run the page the label is displayed as Test and every thing after that is not displayed. Please help me with a solution.

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:label id="Label1" runat="server" text="Test"></asp:label>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>

Actually posting a question itself is a issue here.

Solution 1

You may have to escape the <> brackets inside the string.

Hey can you tell me how can I do that ....

Solution 2

you must use html encodings like is done on this site as well.

The value should then be "Test <Claim>"

Otherwise it is translated as non existent html element and therefore discarded.

Good luck!

The problem is the data is coming form the migrated data and so we don't have control of it. Its not just one label.

You should actually encode it using provided function Server.HtmlEncode

You could also create your own control that will do this automatically or maybe something already did ;-)

Solution 3

In the code Behind use this

string s = "test <test2>";
Label1.Text = Server.HtmlEncode(s);

I think that will double encode the text. IIRC, labels automatically HTML encode the text property. So, if you encode it first, it will be double encoded.
