The HTML-encoded string. If the value parameter is null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or empty, this method returns an empty string.
Remarks
The AntiForgeryToken method converts quotation marks ("), ampersands (&), and left angle brackets (<) to equivalent character entities.
The result should be used only for attributes that are in double quotation marks. Security issues might arise if you use the AntiForgeryToken method to encode attributes that are in single quotation marks.
