HTML Saving to Database

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem that im having.

Basically i have a html editor control and im using this to allow my
colleague to create html documents. I want to save this html info as a
string into my database. the problem arises however due to quotation
marks both double and single within my html. I have seen html before
where it does not have the actual quotation mark but somethinp like
"&lquo" (this is probably wrong)

Is there a class in dotnet that will do this for me ?????

any help appreciated

What exactly is the problem? There is no reason why you can't store the HTML
in the database exactly as it is.

I just flew in from Chicago with
a man with a wooden leg named Smith
who shot an elephant in my pajamas.
So I bit him.

some sort of replace method ???

You don't need to strip out anything. You can store the HTML in the database
exactly as it is.

You need to use SQL parameters -- don't build the SQL statement by
hand, it's not safe.

dim ParmHTMLtext as new sqlparameter

....

command.paramet ers.add(ParmHTM L)
