Question

In my url, I have “?msg=hello+world”, and in my action, it’s converting the value to “hello world”

public ActionResult test(string msg) { 
   // msg has a value of "hello world", even tho "hello+world" was passed in
}

How can I have my mvc action take it as-is?

Thanks.

If you want the string to be sent across ‘as is’ then encode it:

var encoded = HttpUtility.UrlEncode("hello+world");//hello%2bworld
