c# - How to display xml string in a Label? -

i trying html method below, encode string , display on label, keep getting blank page, on client-side.

i have checked viewsource , shows no html output also.

public partial class : page   {     protected void page_load(object sender, eventargs e, string data)     {         if (!ispostback)         {             string = createxmlpub(data);             // label1.text = httputility.htmlencode(a);             label1.text = server.htmlencode(a);         }     }  public static string createxmlpub(string data ) {     xelement xeroot = new xelement("pub");     xelement xename = new xelement("name", "###");     xeroot.add(xename);     xelement xecategory = new xelement("category", "#####");     xeroot.add(xecategory);     xdocument xdoc = new xdocument(xeroot);     data = xdoc.tostring();     return data;  } 

html

 <asp:content runat="server" id="bodycontent" contentplaceholderid="maincontent">  <asp:label id="label1" runat="server" text="label"></asp:label>  </asp:content> 

please advice, may going wrong code. many thanks

• your page_load isn't fired - re: string data param doesn't match signature event delegate

so:

    protected void page_load(object sender, eventargs e)     {         if (!ispostback)         {             string = createxmlpub();             label1.text = server.htmlencode(a);         }     }      public static string createxmlpub()     {         xelement xeroot = new xelement("pub");         xelement xename = new xelement("name", "###");         xeroot.add(xename);         xelement xecategory = new xelement("category", "#####");         xeroot.add(xecategory);         xdocument xdoc = new xdocument(xeroot);          return xdoc.tostring();     } 

hth...
