I have a custom IHtmlHelper
extension method that uses TagBuilder
and returns an HtmlString
. I can no longer pass tagBuiler.ToString()
to the HtmlString
constructor as that just returns the typename now.
I see I can use the tabBuiler.WriteTo(TextWriter, IHtmlEncoder)
method but I don't know exactly how to get my hands on an object that implments IHtmlEncoder
. I see encoders in both System.Text.Encodings.Web
and Microsoft.Framework.WebEncoders
. But the types in the two namespace don't seem to play well together.
HtmlEncoder
in Microsoft.Extensions.WebEncoders.Core
is just a wrapper around System.Text.Encodings.Web.HtmlEncoder
to implement IHtmlEncoder
interface (https://github.com/aspnet/HttpAbstractions/blob/release/src/Microsoft.Extensions.WebEncoders.Core/HtmlEncoder.cs).
You can take Microsoft.Extensions.WebEncoders.HtmlEncoder.Default
and pass to WriteTo
method.
From what I see in dev branch MVC moved to using System.Text.Encodings.Web.HtmlEncoder
directly so you wan't need to use Microsoft.Extensions.WebEncoders.HtmlEncoder
anymore in future.
In ASP.NET Core RC2 you can find HtmlDecode
in System.Net.WebUtility
:
- GitHub source of System.Net.WebUtility
In your project.json import dependency system.net.utilities
"dependencies": {
"System.Text.Encodings.Web": "4.0.0-rc2-24027"
}
As for RC1 update 1, here is how it is done:
using System.Text.Encodings.Web;
...
HtmlEncoder.Default.Encode("...");
Just use System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode or decode as:
System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode()
System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode()
