Hi All,

I found the methods to escape the "%"(Percentage) and "_"(Underscore) like "[%]" and "[_]".
But how to do the same for character "+" ?

Is the same method applies to it ?

I am sending one parameter to a service and getting the result.
So, I can't do anything in SQL Server side.
I only need to format the parameter and send that to service so that I can get the correct result.

[EDIT]
One interesting thing I found is, when I enter "+" sign in the textbox, I am getting only a blank character in code behind while debugging. I am confused.
[/EDIT]

Thanks,
Tadit

+ for a url is a space. However, what are you doing? You can use Server.UrlEncode or Server.HtmlEncode, depending on what you are doing.

Hi ryanb31,

Thanks for your reply.
No I am doing nothing with the URL. I am just taking the some value from TextBox, then passing that to a external WebService to get the result.

But, when I enter + sign in the TextBox, I get only a blank at the code behind, which is confusing....

I have added one answer today. :P

Thanks,
Tadit

Note : Sorry I forgot to update this thread. Just adding answer so that no one else get confused as I was that time.

The Problem was occurring because I have not Encoded the QueryString.

So, I encoded while sending from first page using HttpUtility.UrlEncode. Then I got the "+" sign in QueryString value perfectly without any other issues.
