AntiXssEncoder Class

Definition

Encodes a string for use in HTML, XML, CSS, and URL strings.

public ref class AntiXssEncoder : System::Web::Util::HttpEncoder
public class AntiXssEncoder : System.Web.Util.HttpEncoder
type AntiXssEncoder = class
    inherit HttpEncoder
Public Class AntiXssEncoder
Inherits HttpEncoder
Inheritance
AntiXssEncoder

Remarks

You can use the AntiXssEncoder class to override the HttpEncoder class that is used by default to encode and decode strings in methods of classes such as HttpUtility, HttpServerUtility, and HttpResponseHeader.

In the AntiXssEncoder class, all characters that are not found in the safe list are encoded by the HtmlAttributeEncode and HtmlEncode methods.

To replace the HttpEncoder class with the AntiXssEncoder class, register it using the encoderType attribute of the httpRuntime element in the Web.config file, as shown in following example:

<httpRuntime encoderType="System.Web.Security.AntiXss.AntiXssEncoder" />  

A list of default safe characters for different encoding methods can be found in the remarks for the HtmlAttributeEncode, HtmlEncode, XmlAttributeEncode, and XmlEncode methods. The default safe list can be modified by using the MarkAsSafe method.
