I received the following error from a string.Format(...) operation:
System.FormatException - Input string was not in a correct format.
I have a resource dictionary which contains an entry with a basic html page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title of the document</title>
<style>
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
font-family: 'Arial, Verdana', Fallback, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
}
table {
background-color: #eeeeee;
width: 100%;
padding: 10px;
margin: 5px;
}
h1 {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 20px 0 10px 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
text<br />
<table>
<tr>
<td>Text 1</td>
<td>{0}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 2</td>
<td>{1}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 3</td>
<td>{2}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 4</td>
<td>{3}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 5</td>
<td>{4}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 6</td>
<td>{5}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 7</td>
<td>{6}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<h1>Header1</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Text 8: {7}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</body>
The string.Format(...) operations looks like this:
var emailHtml = string.Format(
WebUtility.HtmlEncode(EmailResource.EmailTemplate),
"text1",
"text2",
"text3",
"text4",
"text5",
"text6",
"text7",
"text8");
Does anyone know what error I made? Isn't it possible to fill in the placeholders in the resource dictionary like this?
{and}(in your CSS definition) are the cause. Braces in a format input must be escaped ({=>{{,}} =>}}). – Brad Christie Aug 19 '15 at 14:03
