How to encode html data in asp / vb.net boundcolumn datagrid?

Question

I have some data in database which I am binding it to a bound column. Data contains many html tags. But I want to display it as TEXT only "NOT TO RENDER IT"

I am not sure because HTMLENCODE property doesn't work with boundcolumn. Please help.

Also just to add I have multiple datagrids binding with bind() function and are using one event handler Itemdatabound.

<asp:boundcolumn datafield="content" readonly="True" headertext="Product ID ">
<headerstyle horizontalalign="Center" width="100px"></headerstyle>
<itemstyle horizontalalign="Left" width="100px"></itemstyle>
</asp:boundcolumn>

what do you mean, doesn't work? I see where MS says it does work with boundfield? can you switch? msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… — user3525511

I could not answer this without seeing codebehind. I would guess that some changes would be in order. — user3525511

Prevent HTML encoding in auto-generated GridView columns

extract from possible solution from above link:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="myLink" SortExpression="myLink">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Literal ID="litHyperLink" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("myLink", "{0}") %>' />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Or bind your own columns, also shown in above link

Server.HtmlDecode()

This will allow you to print the tags without rendering them to html.
