Hi All,

I want to pass a string that contains many special characters ­ \ . _

etc) to another page in my website

through query string.

In my project I have a Gridview control ,in which there is a hyperlink

field.The Gridview 's datasource is set as a database table at runtime.The

hyperlink filed's DataNavigateUrlFiel­ds is set to "RecordID" ,which is a

field in my database table.The RecordID field contains many special

characters.I want to pass the RecordID to PlayRecord.aspx page .I transfer

the RecordID by setting Hyperlink field's Data NavigateUrlFormat string as

PlayRecord.aspx?Rec­ID={0}.The problem is that, hyperlinks are not working

RecordID contains special characters.(It works if RecordID is a normal

string).

Hope you 'll surely have a solution.

Thanking you in advance for your reply.

The solution is the same for dotnet as it is for COM-based ASP: use the

urlEncode method to encode the strings being put into the querystring.

How easy is that to achieve when databinding into a gridview? I

don't use the provided controls much myself.

I suspect one would

need to add a field to the datasource that has the value UrlEncoded.

Better would be to not use such a value and use a numeric, hash or

guid instead.

I hadn't really thought it through. I suppose he would have to use a

templatefield object rather than a boundfield object so the object can

be bound to the result of the UrlEncode function.
