Solution

  • Or alternatively, you may manually escape special characters:

    thisFileNode.NavigateUrl = "javascript:clickNode(this, '" + HtmlEscape(thisFileNode.Value) + "');"

    HtmlEscape method:

    public static string HtmlEscape(string str)
    {
        return str
        .Replace("&", "&")
        .Replace("\"", """)
        .Replace("'", "'")
        .Replace("<", "&lt;")
        .Replace(">", "&gt;");
    }
}
