[RESOLVED] String coming from the datagrid problem

[shyguyjeff]

Hello everyone, I have a problem regarding upon passing a string from datagrid to the next form. I have a datagrid with hyperlink field and I populate the data from my database. My problem is that everytime I pass the field and if it contains '&' the data will stop until there. Anyone knows and encounter same problem as what I have? This is how i link the data:

DataNavigateUrlFormatString="display.aspx?ClientCode={0}&CompanyName={1}&CityName={2}&CountryName={3}&POBox={4}&TelNo1={5}&TelNo2={6}&FaxNo={7}&Email={8}&Web={9}&Details={10}"

And this is how i call it to next form

  Dim CName As String = Request.QueryString("CompanyName")
        Dim CityName As String = Request.QueryString("CityName")

 txtCoName.Text = CName
        txtCity.Text = CityName

Is there any option how to make the '&' readable to the next form? Everytime the data has '&' it will stop there. Like for example, "AB & A Company" it will result only "AB". Any help guys. God Bless and have a nice day.

Hey,

In order to get this to work, you would need to UrlEncode the data from the DataGrid, and then UrlDecode at the other end.

Hope that helps!!
