Help with an apostrophe in a query string

[iRead]

In my application I have the user click on a row in a data grid to drilldown to the detailed data then displayed on the resulting page. I use this line in the datagrid to make this happen.

<a style="COLOR: black; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href='TestList.aspx?Res=1&Type=Desc&Name=
<%# ((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["Description"]%>'>
<%# ((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["Description"]%>
</a>

Everything works fine and I get the results I want until the variable passed from the C# code behind passes a variable with an apostrophe in it. For instance when ((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)[“Description”] returns Brewmister’s Ale it it build the query string as:

“http:/

http://www.testapp/TestList.aspx?Res=1&Type=Desc&Name=

Brewmister”

instead of

“http:/

http://www.testapp/TestList.aspx?Res=1&Type=Desc&Name=

Brewmister’s Ale”

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

I'd try to Server.UrlEncode() the string.

I’ll investigate that.
