Hi..
here my client writes the description in the testbox in the following format only <save text="" here="" description=""> however I have given a alternate solution to save the data < where it saves in the database as <(hope its a Unicode its helping it save)

here its not at all about data going to database level.when I put debug point I don't see the data after writing in the text box in the following format <save text="" description=""> at textdescription.text point it is throwing the
error:Unhandled exception at line 513, column 13 in http://localhost:49324/ScriptResource.axd?d=_BVt7geeKdNNKmH7keWQloB-_UhjxiXbsGvwwI4Nf-rlBuVWM9ArL-IAom0FNi09x8WkOspWA06P0X1GTZX5V7x8SdidNMN4ovpT3vA3PCbuD3wOqM71GBfhofIYkBv9dhBdWDlNVzxLNDPKGMwCaeSZW3dOPPY_bC1KRvCmRm4LLy_d0&t=fffffffff98cfb72

0x800a139e - JavaScript runtime error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknown error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 500

Note: I am able to save and see the data if the text format is "< save text description>" here if you observe there space between < and save so here in these case the data is saved and seen at the debug point textdescription.text

May be issue in the special characters using in the textbox. Please try without special character and let u try to save if u can save means ..

check database ur column datatype if nvarchar means no issues otherwise change into nvarchar datatype..

and now try with special characters..

All the Best :)

Solution 2

Generally special character issue occurs when not use nvarchar as a data type in Sql server.So just try nvarchar it will solve your problem.
