Databinding ImageUrl urlencodes characters

[mikeachamberlain]

Hi.

I have an <asp:Image> control in which I am databinding the ImageURL
attribute. The URL is another ASPX page that provides the binary
source of the image,

The problem is that ASP.NET is insisting on HTML encoding the URL
string, so the ampersands in the querystring are converted to &amps.
As a simple example of this, consider the following:

<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%#
"/Images/Download.aspx?username=mikeyc&imageID=2" %>' />

The outputted HTML is as follows:

<img id="Image1"
src="/Images/Download.aspx?username=mikeyc&amp;imageID=2" ... />

Bah! How can I stop the ampersands from being encoded?

(BTW I realise that databinding is of no help here, but I am
simplifying the example.)

Hi...
I dont see any problem. with the &amp....
Because when browser submit the request for the image it convert the
&amp; to "&" please check it run the project... and right click on the
image and select property ... look for the address you will find that
things are alright...

Thanks

You are absolutely right - the problem lay elsewhere. Thanks for you
help.
