String

[shapper]

Hello,

I have an Action where I define a ViewData property named Ad:

public ActionResult GoogleAdSense(s tring client, int height,
string slot, int width) {
StringBuilder ad = new StringBuilder() ;
ad.AppendLine(" <script type='text/javascript'>");
ad.AppendLine(" <!--");
ad.AppendLine(S tring.Concat("g oogle_ad_client = '", client,
"';"));
ad.AppendLine(S tring.Concat("g oogle_ad_slot = '", slot, "';"));
ad.AppendLine(S tring.Concat("g oogle_ad_width = ",
width.ToString( ), ";"));
ad.AppendLine(S tring.Concat("g oogle_ad_height = ",
height.ToString (), ";"));
ad.AppendLine("//--");
ad.AppendLine(" </script>");
ad.AppendLine(" <script type='text/javascript' src='http://
pagead2.googles yndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js'></script>");
ViewData["Ad"] = ad;
return View("GoogleAdS ense");
}

Then I use, on the control:

<%= Html.Encode(Vie wData["Ad"]) %>

This is not working because I get in my Page Source:

&lt;script type='text/javascript'&gt;
&lt;!--
google_ad_clien t = '###########';
google_ad_slot = '######';
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_heigh t = 250;
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type='text/javascript' src='http://
pagead2.googles yndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js'&gt ;&lt;/script&gt;

The problem is with the '<' and '>' characters. Any idea why?

One more question: in C# when I want a quote inside a "" should I use
' ?
The generated code shows ' but in Google Ad Sense they say to use ".
I tried to use "" to create a " but I get an error on my code. Why?

Thanks,

Miguel

test this in your HTML
<%= Html.Encode("<" ) %>

then test this
<%= "<" %>


As far as your second question, you need to "escape" the " character
like this:
ad.AppendLine(" This string contains the \" character");

See this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa691090(VS.71).aspx

and this:

or do a search on "C# escape"

You should HTMLEncode the data that you are putting in the StringBuilder.
That ought to sort out your problem.

For the quote issue, you can escape the double quote to place it in a
string. Like so:

string s= "\"http://www.google.com\ ""

Re: String

Shapper,

The problem why you are getting < and such encoded string in your browser is
because you are using HTMLEncode method to put your javascript onto your page.

Instead try the following on your aspx side and it will emit the exact
javascript block that you want.
<%= ViewData["Ad"] %>
