Adding HTML to a XML element 1

mcowen · Aug 2, 2005

Hi,

Everytime I add HTML to a XML element it converts the code to a <html> etc. I am adding a CDATA section so i am not sure why its converting the < symbols. Does anyone know how I can prevent it character escaping like this?

Thanks

Code:

XmlCDataSection CData;

CData = doc.CreateCDataSection(xmltext.Value);

XmlNode messageNode = doc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "Message", "");

messageNode.AppendChild(CData);

Using this code:

Code:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlCDataSection CData;
CData = doc.CreateCDataSection("<html><body><p>test</p></body></html>");
XmlNode messageNode = doc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "Message", "");
messageNode.AppendChild(CData);
Response.Write(messageNode.InnerXml);

Gives me:

<![CDATA[<html><body><p>test</p></body></html>]]>

They must be getting converted elsewhere.
