passing special characters in an asp:hyperlinkcolumn

[fernhopper]

Is there a way I can do the equivalent of a
server.URLEncode() when moving to a new form via a
asp:hyperlinkcolumn in a datagrid? My hyperlink column
currently looks like this:

<asp:HyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlField="Course_code"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="CourseDetails.aspx?id ={0}"
DataTextField="course_code" HeaderText="Code">

Field "course_code" can contain special charactres,
i.e. "D&A".

Thanks.
