This is my passing code in first page

C#

protected void btnsbt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime a = DateTime.ParseExact(txtfrmdate.Text, "dd-MM-yyyy", null);
    DateTime b = DateTime.ParseExact(txttodate.Text, "dd-MM-yyyy", null);
    string c = txtCustomerName.Text.ToString();

    Response.Redirect("frmRptSalesBillWiseView.aspx?drop=" + a + "&radio=" + b + "&CustName=" + c + "");
}

When I pass the name "A & A CONTAINER CONVERSIONS" to the next page I'm getting only "A".

Code on the second page:

C#

custname1 = Request.QueryString["CustName"];

Hi,

Please use like following code while redirecting.

Response.Redirect("frmRptSalesBillWiseView.aspx?drop=" + Server.HtmlEncode(a) + "&radio=" + Server.HtmlEncode(b) + "&CustName=" + Server.HtmlEncode(c) + "");

Use the following while retrieving the value form query string.

custname1 = Server.HtmlDecode(Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString["CustName"]));

Note: You can use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode / HttpUtility.HtmlEncode instead of Server.HtmlEncode / Server.HtmlDecode. it is depends on you choice.

Thank you,

Unsurprisingly, HtmlEncode is for encoding strings to display in an HTML context.

To encode strings to use in a URL, you need to use UrlEncode. The QueryString collection takes care of decoding the value for you.
