Error Message
#ERROR# An error occurred while parsing EntityName.
Cause\Possible Cause(s)
The error occurs when the text displayed by the HtmlTextbox contains special characters without escaping them. E.g. '&' should be written like '&'.
Description
An "#ERROR# An error occurred while parsing EntityName." occurs at the place of an HtmlTextBox item in design-time and run-time previews.
Solution
The input can be escaped:
- In the data-retrieval method. This will warry between data bases. For example, with SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later, STRING_ESCAPE can be used.
- In the expression with the HtmlEncode utility function;
- In a custom function used in the HtmlTextBox.Value property's expression through a binding.
