How To Stop Gridview Column From Automatically Encoding Html Entities

I am fairly new to asp.net and come into a problem whilst using a gridview. I have added some entries that contain the '&' symbol eg 'PR Murphy & Associates'. I haven't don

Solution 1:

In the GridView's menu, you can select the column and under the properties for that column you can set HTMLEncode to False (or True depending upon your needs).

Solution 2:

I solved this problem with GridView1_RowDataBound Event

protectedvoidGridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
           for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++) 
           {
               string encoded = e.Row.Cells[i].Text;
               e.Row.Cells[i].Text = Context.Server.HtmlDecode(encoded);
           }
    }
}
