Hi everyone,

I've problem on escaping ampersand entities such as & < in vb. In html, it is automatically escaping the ampersand entities like & to &
But in vb, it display as a string (&). Is it possible to solve this problem? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks a million.

Where are you trying to put these characters? In a normal string, say

Code:

Dim sample as String
sample = "#Â£"

The only character that needs an escape sequence is ", you escape this by doing double quotes:

Code:

Dim sample as String
sample = "Hello ""Tan Su Loon""!"
MessageBox.Show(sample)

You'd be better off posting this sort of thing in the Beginning VB/Beginning VB.Net forum - this forum is for discussions on the new version of Visual Studio, not for help requests
