IServer::HTMLEncode

The IServer::HTMLEncode method applies HTML encoding to the specified string. For more information, see the HTMLEncode method of the Server object.

HRESULT HTMLEncode(

  BSTR bstrIn,   // contains the text to be encoded

  BSTR * pbstrEncoded  // pointer to a binary string that receives

         // the encoded text

);

Parameters

bstrIn

[in] A binary string that contains the text to be encoded.

pbstrEncoded

[retval] [out] Points to a binary string that receives the encoded text.

Remarks

If your component returns the encoded text to a browser, the browser will display it in HTML format, rather than in plain text. For example, if the bstrIn contained the following string, < >, the pbstrEncoded parameter would contain the HTML code for those characters, &lt &gt. If your component returned this to a browser, however, it would display it as < >.
