HtmlEncode bound data

David

Hi,

I have a gridview where I am hand binding the data.

In my view, I have a label. It has the text as text='<%# Bind("MyField")
%>'

I have incoming data that may contain < and >. I need to HTML Encode this,
but I can't get it to work.

text='<%# Server.HtmlEncode(Bind("MyField")) %>'

I have tried changing the Bind to DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"MyField") and wrapping the HtmlEncode around it, but it doesn't work.

What should I be doing?

I guess I have a problem and no easy solution...

Anybody? Even if just a thought to try and get it working?
