Gets or sets whether to encode cell values in a column/row..

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(true)]
public virtual bool EncodeHtml { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(True)>
Public Overridable Property EncodeHtml As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true	true to encode column/row cell values and display them as text, false to not encode column/row cell values and render them as HTML markup.

Remarks

Grid-like controls convert service characters (for instance, < and >) in cell values to character entity references (< and >) and display HTML code as text. Set the EncodeHtml property to false to prevent such a convertion and render cell values as HTML markup.

Note

The EncodeHtml property of a column/row overwrites the editor’s EncodeHTML property value. However, the editor never encodes text displayed in the edit box.
