Server.HTMLEncode and the # (pound) symbol

[Chris]

Can someone tell me why HTMLEncode doesn't convert # to %23?

I am building a querystring and the # comes through as a #, which of
course kills the rest of the items in the querystring.

Any idea? Is there another function I can use? For now I just wrote
my own to swap out any #s.

query strings should not be HTML encoded, but rather URL encoded. try

HttpUtility.UrlEncode

Holy crap, I can't believe that I didn't realize what I was doing.

I knew something wasn't right... I am a disgrace

Thanks!
