The example in this section shows how to use markup and code to display "Use <b> for bold text" in the browser when the Test Content link is clicked.
The following example shows markup that invokes the TestContent method.
<%= Html.ActionLink("Test Content", "TestContent",
new { id = true, sMsg= "Use <b> for bold text"})%>
<%= Html.ActionLink("Test Content", "TestContent",
new { id = true, sMsg= "Use <b> for bold text"})%>
The following example shows the TestContent method.
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult TestContent(bool id, string sMsg) {
if (id == true)
return Content(Server.HtmlEncode((sMsg.ToLower())));
else
return Content(Server.HtmlEncode(sMsg));
}
<ValidateInput(False)> _
Public Function TestContent(ByVal id As Boolean, ByVal sMsg As String) As ActionResult
If id = True Then
Return Content(Server.HtmlEncode((sMsg.ToLower())))
Else
Return Content(Server.HtmlEncode(sMsg))
End If
End Function
