Resource file variable giving string ASCII code issues in js alert box

Question

I have a variable in a resource file (.resx), the value having the word you'd.

When I try to use this variable directly in an alert box it displays you'd as you'd.

What could be the issue? and how do I resolve it?

Answer 1

Try this:

alert('@System.Web.HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode("Hello, You'd like this.")');
