I’ve looked for the answer and can’t find it. It’s got to be something obvious and I’m just missing it.
We have a connection string issue in an app.config file. It uses SQL Server authentication, and the password contains an “&” and a “+” symbol. Obviously the parsing is going wrong. Changing the password would be a hassle at this point. Is there a way to handle this?
Encode the ‘&’ as ‘&’ – ampersand is a reserved character in XML
