url encode with '+'

[g00fyman]

hi all, i have a httphandler that returns an image when i send it text (and other parameters). The trouble is i have a need to send the string 'news + events', but the '+' is not being output at all. code in page _HeadingTextImage.ImageUrl = "textimage.ashx?text=" + Server.UrlEncode("news+events"); code in httphandler string qText = (query["text"] == null) ? UsageText : context.Server.UrlDecode(query["text"]); qText always = "news events" when i step into it. can anyone tell me how to do this please? thanks, Maurice

hello, thanks for the reply. that page encodes news+events as news%2Bevents which is what i get as input to the handler in the raw url (Request.QueryString) but when i do Request.QueryString["qText"]; it return "news events", replacing the %2B with a space. thanks, Maurice

thank you i have resolved the issue. if i urldecode the query in the handler it doesnt work, but if i urlencode the url in the page then just process it in the handler without urldecode'ing it, then it works fine. regards, maurice.
