Question

I have a string which I'm html encoding, then using a string builder to allow certain html characters. All works fine except for the left sided quote ‘. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

StringBuilder htmlStr = new StringBuilder();
htmlStr.Append(HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(reader["NewsDetail"]));
htmlStr.Replace("&lt;p&gt;", "<p>");
htmlStr.Replace("&lt;/p&gt;", "</p>");
htmlStr.Replace("&lsquo;", "‘");

Accepted Answer

This char is not encoded by HtmlEncode.

string h = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("<p>‘test’</p>");
Console.WriteLine(h);
// output: &lt;p&gt;‘test’&lt;/p&gt;

If you need to encode you will have to do it yourself. Check this post: HttpUtility.HtmlEncode doesn't encode everything
