Question

I got a TextBox binded to a String Url property.
When the user insert a link with the char ‘&’ it changes to amp;
This cause me lots of problems on other applications
Is there a way to disable this conversion ?

Thanks

Answer 1

No. amp; is actually the correct way of doing querty/get strings. The reason for is that & is how the browser sees the end of a variable in the URL; & being a variable spliter. Putting in amp; makes sure the browsers know exactly that that isn’t the end of the variable. This is a global standard which all browsers are to adhere to.

Here is a good resource on this kind of stuff
