Querystring and Double-Byte characters

[RodBillett]

I have an ASP.NET web page that accepts querystring parameters.


MyPage.aspx?DB=__??????????&ID=1


When I get into the page and look at Request.Querystring it shows as

"DB=__%3f%3f%3f%3f%3f%3f%3f%3f%3f%3f&ID=1"

How can I get the correct Double-Byte character representation in the
QueryString?

Web.Config has both the request and response encoding as utf-8.

The site that is working w/o problems and I am trying to add in some simple
integration techniques. If they access the page from another of the sites
pages, the querystring is constructed as follows


string parms "parm1|parms2|parm3";

<Convert parms to a Base64 Array>

string navigateURL = "Mypage.aspx?parms=" + HttpUtility.URLEncode( parms )

In the page_Load I can unpack the quesrystring and get the correct values,
but if a user just tries to access the site with 'simple integration' then
they get _?????? for the parms

Any Help would be appreciated

Try: Server.UrlDecode();

Should fix your problems as what is getting displayed is just the url
encoded version

Since UTF-8 is not a double byte character encoding (it uses one or more
bytes): never ;-) %3f% is the question mark, the encoded values are correct.
It must break before that.

parms )

In the page_Load I can unpack the quesrystring and get the correct
values, but if a user just tries to access the site with 'simple
integration' then they get _?????? for the parms

How does this "integration" actually work? Do the users click on some
hyperlink in your web app, or in another web app?
