Unable to retrieve parameter value with "+" sign from URL using Request object

[JFKJr]

Hello everyone!

I am a new beginner to ASP.NET, I have created two pages page1.aspx, page2.aspx and I am trying to pass course name value to page2.aspx from page1.aspx using the following URL:

page2.aspx?course=C++

But when I use the request object in page2.aspx in order to retrieve "course" value using the following code, I only receive C instead of C++

CourseLabel.Text = Request["course"].ToString();

Please give me an idea on how to handle this issue.

Thanks in advance.

The "+" character has special meaning in URLs (it means space I beleive)
You will need to encode the + sign into its correct value before sending in the url.
Try using URLEncode/URLDecode to do it.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Using "Server.URLEncode" in page1.aspx and "Request.QueryString" in page2.aspx I am able to retrieve the course value with special characters.
