chars like: ' or " in header script code become: ' or "

Question

I recently installed Visual-Web-Developer 10 and open my old asp.net 3.5 solution in it and converted it to asp.net 4 solution. every thing is working fine exept one strange problem: suddenly all chars like: ' or " in header script code become: ' or " and this making all my javascript do not work and give error in all my solutuin pages.

i tryed to save the page in different encoding but it did not help: here is example of what happening: in server side code:

HtmlGenericControl Include = new HtmlGenericControl("script");
    Include.Attributes.Add("type", "text/JavaScript");
    Include.InnerText = "browser = \"ie\"; browserVer = '8'; bodyDir = 'rtl'; adverID = '123'; webKind = 'adver';";
    Page.Header.Controls.Add(Include);
    Include.Dispose();

on user side i get:

<script type="text/JavaScript">browser = &quot;ie&quot;; browserVer = &#39;8&#39;; bodyDir = &#39;rtl&#39;; adverID = &#39;123&#39;; webKind = &#39;adver&#39;;</script>

big thanks for any halp chainan
