as far as I know does the xmlwriter nothing like this - because xml supports different encodings it is not neccessary to htmlEncode the string. But if you wish to use the HtmlEncode function you can use it the following way. string str = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("bye"); To have access to the System.Web Namespace you need to add a new reference (System.Web.dll) to your project.

HtmlEncodehas nothing to do with "different encodings" ( here I assume you mean UTF, ASCII etc) but problem is that at least characters < > & etc. has special meaning in XML, and they cannot be in XML document in literal form. You have to either wrap 'em into CDATA or "enocde/escape" them as character enties - e.g. &, <...HtmlEncodedoes exactly this kind of "encoding". David Never forget: "Stay kul and happy" (I.A.)
