HtmlTextWriter does not render <br/> element correctly

Change Description

Beginning in the .NET Framework 4.6, calling HtmlTextWriter.RenderBeginTag() and HtmlTextWriter.RenderEndTag() with a <BR /> element will correctly insert only one <BR /> (instead of two)

  • Quirked
  • Build-time break

If an app depended on the extra <BR /> tag, HtmlTextWriter.RenderBeginTag() should be called a second time. Note that this behavior change only affects apps that are targeting the .NET Framework 4.6, so another option is to target a previous version of the .NET Framework in order to get the old behavior.

Affected APIs

  • M:System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.RenderBeginTag(System.String)
  • M:System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter.RenderBeginTag(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriterTag)
