its working here without decoding
public partial class Aspx_ZSamples_Default10 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("Default11.aspx?Value='Coeur d 'Alene'");
}
}

public partial class Aspx_ZSamples_Default11 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strValue = Request.QueryString["Value"].ToString();
string strValue1 = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Request.QueryString["Value"].ToString());
}
}

Solution 2

You could consider using HttpUtility.UrlEncode[^]. This will help you escape quote symbol.

before adding any data to the querystring you should always do a Server.UrlEncode on that. after retrieving the data you should do Server.UrlDecode on query string to get the actual data out of it.
