HTML Online Decoder

I store encoded HTML in the database.

The only way i could display it correctly is :

<div class='content'>       @MvcHtmlString.Create(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.Content));</div>

It's ugly.Is there any better way to do this?

i have a csv file which have some columns with trademark symbol (®) trademark symbol ™, i need to convert this htmlentites and insert into mysql database.it was converting only trademark symbol (®) but not trademark symbol ™Here is my php code

htmlentities($params[1], ENT_NOQUOTES, 'IISO-8859-1')

I take user input into a text area, store it and eventually display it back to the user.

In my View (Razor) I want to do something like this...

@Message.Replace("\n", "</br>")

This doesn't work because Razor Html Encodes by default. This is great but I want my line breaks.

If I do this I get opened up to XSS problems.

@Html.Raw(Message.Replace("\n", "</br>"))

What's the right way to handle this situation?

I know that the EURO currency symbol (€) is encoded as € in HTML, but the System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("€") doesn't encode it at all. Does anyone know why that is?

The HttpUtility class provides for both encoding and decoding. But, when I use the MS AntiXSS 3.1 Library I have a set of methods only for encoding, does this mean decoding can be avoided?

For example

Before applying AntiXSS:

lblName.Text = "ABC" + "<script> alert('Inject'); </script";

After applying AntiXSS:

lblName.Text = AntiXSS.HTMLEncode("ABC" + "<script> alert('Inject'); </script");

So, after applying the encoding, the HTML tags show up in my Label control.

Is this the desired outcome?
