Concatenating a string in a querystring of a <a> link in c# created through asp.net

Question

I can already send something in the querystring:

<a href='Exibe.aspx?var='lalala''>

but I'd like to send a string instead of lalala, and when i try to concatenate normally in the response.write with "+" signs, it just doesn't. it creates the url only with the part before the "+".

Facts:

the string has a value
I can concatenate it with other string and it works
I can use the querystring with something I write

Thank you

UPDATE: code that doesn't work:

responde.write("<a href='Exibe.aspx?nome='" + nome(0) + "''> click here </a>");

Code that works but doesn't do what I want (sends "VALUE" not my string)

responde.write("<a href='Exibe.aspx?nome='VALUE''> click here </a>");

I'm really new at this.. sorry

You'll need to add a code sample of what you're trying to do in C#--it's imposible to tell what's going wrong otherwise. — Justin Grant

Why not simply use a hyperlink server control? That way you have full control over the link element from you're code:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>

HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = "http://whereever.com/Default.aspx?Blah=whatever";

i'm creating this link at runtime.. if i do that it won't render as a link

I would personally think this method would be more valid for creating a link at runtime.

Are you looking for HttpUtility.UrlEncode or are you looking for something to build the Uri like UriBuilder ? Either way you should be able to google up some examples.

Also, with query strings you dont need to use quotation marks around each parameter.

This:

response.write("<a href='Exibe.aspx?nome=VALUE'> click here </a>");

Will pass the string "VALUE" through.
