[Solved] display xml in cells

[Milosz]

i have values e.g. <some text> which i want to display in radgrid cell, i don't know why text started with < end ended with > does not appear in cell?

Hi Milosz,

Try using:
 &lt -  for less-than
&gt- for greater-than

i.e.  use  &lt some text &gt instead of <some text> and see whether you are able to display the desired cell text.

ok but i bind grid with datasource, i could use HttpUtility.HtmlEncode but do i have to iterate for each cell to modyfi text? if so how to iterate every column in itemdatabound event using GridDataItem?

Hi,

Give a try with the following code snippet to loop through the entire cells of a Grid.

CS:

protected void RadGrid2_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid2.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
            foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid2.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
            {
                string strtxt = item[col.UniqueName].Text.Replace(">", "&gt");
                string strtxt1 = strtxt.Replace("<", "&lt");
                item[col.UniqueName].Text = strtxt1;

            }
        }
    }
