Question

How to put '<' and '>' inside a linkbutton's text property (asp.net)? I tried <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="lbEdit" Text="&lt;edit settings&gt;"></asp:LinkButton> but then the link doesn't show up.

Answer 1

Yeah, that will render with the exact text <edit settings> which the browser will consider another tag.

Try Text="<edit settings>"
