Have you ever had an headache with query string, like for an example “A&B” is your value of parameter “word” in your Url call.
http://example.com/?word=A&B
But the server will parse the request as the following;
Parameter: word value: B
Parameter: B value: null
In which that you want it to parse as;
Parameter: word value: A&B
The HttpUtility.UrlEncode(string str) can come in and help you with this, the method will encode your string into url encode compliant. Here maybe how you can parse the url;
string value = “A&B”;
string url = string.Format(“{2}“,
(Request.ApplicationPath == “/”) ? “” : Request.ApplicationPath,
HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value),
value);
That’s it, now that you have the correct url query string parameter value; that is
http://example.com/?word=a%26b
Then you can use the normal query string method retrieve the parameter value, and this is how you can retrieve it.
string word = Request.QueryString["word"];
I hope this help in your dynamic web application that is compliant with search engine bots.
