I've http encoded a string ( "Best Practice & Evaluation of Practice" ) to be used as a querystring parameter, but it still breaks on the & http://mysite.com/default.aspx?p=1&q=%22Best%20Practice%20&%20Evaluation%20of%20Practice%22&c=1 Parameter q should come out as "Best Practice & Evaluation of Practice" but I only get "Best Practice "!!!!!!!! Does anyone know how to get around this?????? Any help is much appreciated.

Have you tried changing the & to the HTML escape sequence code for an ampersand? &\|amp; or &\|#38; (NB: Remove the pipe I had to add to stop the code from showing as simply "&" in this message) _____________________________ Kitka It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

You are obviously more observant than me because if I'd added a pipe then you'd have seen this q=%22Best%20Practice%20&\|amp;%20Evaluation%20of%20Practice%22&c=1 but I didn't cuz I didn't notice the removal of the amp;! It's 6 in the morning here and I haven't slept. Not that I don't make mistakes like that normally, I'm just having a self-pitying moan (in reply to Kitka)

Instead of using HttpUtility.HtmlEncode I used HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode instead and it worked. You may ask why I didn't do that earlier but there are lots of methods and I don't know them all! (in my defence) Now if only I could get my webhost to fixed the damned permissions on my website then perhaps I could test this in the wild! Off to bed. (in reply to yb2)
