C#, function to replace all html special characters with normal text characters

Question

I have characters incoming from an xml template for example:

& >  

Does a generic function exist in the framework to replace these with their normal equivalents?

Answer 1

You want to use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode.:

Converts a string that has been HTML-encoded for HTTP transmission into a decoded string.

Answer 2

Maybe this helps: WebUtility.HtmlDecode("");
