    Url and querystring reading

    I have an asp.net page that sends a querystring to a new web page (see full
    url below). The querystring takes a filename as one of the parameters. The
    problem I am having is when the filename contains a "&" then when I read the
    querystring it doesn't read past the embedded "&". Any way around this?
    Thanks.

    The value in the sname querystring is "Quarles & Brady (Misc./No File #)"

      all querystring args are supposed to be urlencoded. see:

      HttpUtility.Url Encode

                  Thank you all. I knew there had to be a simple solution.
