.NET Adrotator

[malcolmd3111]

Hi,

I am using MS Adrotator to show random adverts on my site. It simply reads an XML file with a standard template as shown below. (This works correctly as expected)

<Ad>
<ImageUrl>~/images/ads/ad_Amazon_Gener ic.gif</ImageUrl>
<NavigateUrl>ht tp://www.amazon.com</NavigateUrl>
<AlternateText> Shopping at Amazon.com</AlternateText>
<Impressions>20 </Impressions>
</Ad>

you supposedly insert the image url and the reference url as required.

Unfortunately, as an affiliate of certain companies I am supplied the html and, I cannot get the xml to parse the following code correctly. (the web site crashes)

http://click.linksyner gy.com/fs-bin/click?id=swflsu G*zbY&offerid=1 23456700005&typ e=4&subid=0

for the Navigate url <NavigateUrl> <NavigateUrl>

[actual numbers were modified for security reason, but the structure remains the same] I tried delimiting the string literal with quotes " " to no avail. This example is typical of many of the html suppeld code I have.

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out but I am at a loss, can anyone help with this?

many thanks,

malcolm

I do not undertstand what you are trying to do. Can you explain it a bit?

If the companies are supplying a blank NavigateURL node, <NavigateUrl> <NavigateUrl> how is anyone to link to the site? It doesn't make sense. Tell your affiliates that they are not sending the link correctly.

Hi,
I am not sure if your problem has been resolved.
The problem seems due to the fact that you have special characters in your string. like &)

Have a look at this site , hope it helps you

Cheers
