IServer::HTMLEncode

The IServer::HTMLEncode method applies HTML encoding to the specified string. For more information, see the HTMLEncode method of the Server object.

HRESULT HTMLEncode(
  BSTR bstrIn,         //binary string that contains the text 
                       //to be encoded
  BSTR * pbstrEncoded  //pointer to a binary string that receives 
                       //the encoded text
);

Parameters

bstrIn: A binary string that contains the text to be encoded.
pbstrEncoded: Points to a binary string that receives the encoded text.

Remarks

If your component returns the encoded text to a browser, the browser will display it in HTML format, rather than in plain text. For example, if the bstrIn contained the following string, < >, the pbstrEncoded parameter would contain the HTML code for those characters, &lt &gt. If your component returned this to a browser, however, it would display it as < >.
