Hi All,

I am trying to store an HTML string within an XML node, using:
Node.InnerText = strContent

Problem is, the HTML ends up like this, when its in the XML:
<TextArea1>&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;me&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;</TextArea1>

Any help will be much appreciated.

Simon.

text in a xml node is encoded as you see. if you want the html to appear
as xml, then be sure its valid xml and insert it as innerXml

If you want your HTML that is stored in the innerText of an Xml Element to be
treated without the Xml Parser attempting to parse it, just surround within a
CDATA section. This tells the parser "Leave this alone".
