HTML Hex Encoding

[cboekhoudt]

Does anyone know how and if it's possible to convert a
string like:

<div><a href="http://www.cnn.com">www.cnn.com</a></div>
<div>test string</div>

to something like this:

"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\u0022http://www.cnn.com\u0022
\u003ewww.cnn.com\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdi
v\u003etest string\u003c/div\u003e"

I would like to do this using some kind of encoding
without having to escape each special character if possible

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

use the HttpUtility.UrlEncode Method

UrlEncode would give me something like
%3cdiv%3e%3ca+href%3d%22http%3a%2f%2fwww.cnn.com%2 2%
3ewww.cnn.com%3c%2fa%3e%3c%2fdiv%3e%3cdiv%3etest+s tring%3
UrlEncode is not what I need.

I need it to escape characters that are html specific such
as < > and include " '. Other than manually replace all
these with the hex, are there any special encodings that
will do it for me?

Thanks,
