URL Escape Character Problem (Bug in ASP.NET??)

CoolKiwiBloke

When attempting to use characters above 0x8F in the QueryString (URL Escaped
of course) these do not work when the CodePage is set to 1252 e.g. using
test.aspx?test=%a3, ('Â£') the parameter 'test' shows up in trace.axd as being
empty!

A similar problem exists when entering characters into an input box (see
code below) and then pressing submit e.g. 'Â£' & 'â‚¬'

Removing the CodePage setting (which I guess uses UTF-8 by default) does
solve the problem... however my system (which worked perfectly in traditional
ASP!!) requires CodePage 1252 to work correctly.

Is this a known problem? Is there anyway to work around this problem?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<%@ Page Language="C#" CodePage="1252" %>

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<form runat="server" Id="TheForm">

<input type="text" runat="server" />

<input type="submit" name="Go" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

The default *runtime* character encoding in ASP.NET is UTF-8. This is
configured in web.config in the <globalization/> XML node.
