EncodeValue Property (FpSpread)

Gets or sets whether the Spread component encodes the values from the data model and the user's input using the HtmlEncode method.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property EncodeValue As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FpSpread
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.EncodeValue = value
 
value = instance.EncodeValue

public bool EncodeValue {get; set;}

Property Value

true to encode the values; otherwise false

Remarks

To write HTML tags in the cells, you would need to set this property to false. If you set this property to false, then you can embed HTML tags in the cell, for example to make part of the text bold by adding <B> and </B> tags. This applies to cells in the headers as well as cells in the data area.

The HtmlEncode method converts a string into an HTML-encoded string for reliable HTTP transmission from the Web server to a client. For more information on cross-site scripting security issues, see article Q252985 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Example

This example shows how to turn off encoding to allow HTML tags.

FpSpread1.EncodeValue=false;
FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[1,1].Value="Hello<B>World</B>.Y=X<SUP>2</SUP>";
FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[2,1].Value="<AHREF='http://www.fpoint.com/'>FarPoint</A>-creatorsofSpread"
FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[3,1].Value="Break&nbsp;here<BR>to&nbsp;anew&nbsp;line"
FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[4,1].Value="<AHREF=""mailto:fpdocs@fpoint.com">Senddocfeedback</a>."

Visual Basic

FpSpread1.EncodeValue=False
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(1,1).Value="Hello<B>World</B>"
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(2,1).Value="<AHREF='http://www.fpoint.com/'>FarPoint</a>-creatorsofSpread"
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(3,1).Value="Break&nbsp;here<BR>to&nbsp;anew&nbsp;line"
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(4,1).Value="<AHREF=""mailto:fpdocs@fpoint.com">Senddocfeedback</a>."
