An ampersand in an image URL

[grande]

Hi all,

I have an ASP:Image control that is having its ImageUrl populated by the C# code-behind file.

The image URL is:

http://images.company.com/cgi-bin/EyeSpy.dll?resizeimage&$/

[product_number]_main.axs&80&80

As you can see, there's a few ampersands in the URL. However, when it gets put to the page, the <IMG> tag generated has the URL as:

http://images.company.com/cgi-bin/EyeSpy.dll?resizeimage&amp;$/

[product_number]_main.axs&amp;80&amp;80

Is there a way I can get around this?

(PS: If I put the string directly into an <IMG> tag, and Response.Write it to the screen, it works fine)

can you paste the line of code where you are generating the imageURL?

Have you looked at the help for concatting "&"?

I'm generating my string thusly:

string iu = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["imageserver_thumburl"];
string DisplayThyImage = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(iu);
DisplayThyImage = DisplayThyImage.Replace("@@image", Results.Product_Thumbnail + ".axs");
DisplayThyImage = DisplayThyImage.Replace("@@w", "80");
DisplayThyImage = DisplayThyImage.Replace("@@h", "80");
imgThumbnail.ImageUrl = DisplayThyImage;

The imageserver_thumburl contains the following string:

http://images.company.com/cgi-bin/EyeSpy.dll?resizeimage&amp;$/@@image&amp;@@w&amp;@@h

The imageserver_thumburl contains the following string:

http://images.company.com/cgi-bin/EyeSpy.dll?resizeimage&amp;$/@@image&amp;@@w&amp;@@h

is the string coming out of .AppSettings with the &amp or is this being generated somewhere else? If its coming out of .AppSettings, are you sure that its not coded in .AppSettings that way?

what does "DisplayThyImage" contain immediately after:

string DisplayThyImage = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(iu);
