html entity encode text only, not html tag

Question

i have a string that contains a bunch of html. i want to html-encode the text within the html tags but not the tags themselves. is there an easy way to do this in asp.net c# 3.5

Answer 1

if you need a bunch of functions use the htmlagilitypack. if you just need urls or something in specific tags a selfwritten parser would be more efficient

Answer 2

You could use the HTML Agility Pack (available via nuget) to read the HTML then if necessary use the HtmlEncode method to encode the specific values by querying them.
