Gibs,

Have you tried using symbols in the Character Map? I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it won't work.

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map

Select your symbol, then copy it into your text box text.

Hey Gibs,

You can look up the entities here:

and try this code:
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<script runat="server">

Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s)
TextBox1.Text = _
Server.HtmlDeco de("¢&copy ; 2004")
End Sub
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitl ed Page</title>

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
