Displaying HTML tags as text

[Alan Yu]

Hi,

Is there a setting in the grid that would have it display HTML tags as text instead of rendering them?

Thanks

Hello Alan

You can use Server.HTMLEncode Method to achieve this. Here is an example for GridTemplateColumn:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="MyCol">

<ItemTemplate>

<%# Server.HtmlEncode(Eval("MyColumn").ToString())%>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

You can use also ItemCreated/ItemDataBound to achieve the same with auto-generated GridBoundColumns.
