Webdropdown.CurrentValue contains garbarge chars
posted

Hi

I have a webdropdown with certain date values in it.

When I change the selected value and try to access it using .CurrentValue method it returns the value with certain control chars e.g. 2013%2f/07%2f/31. However, if the selection is not been changed the .CurrentValue contains the right value e.g. 2013/07/31

Why is this so? And how can I get the value in the selection after the selection is changed?

thanks

Adi

    Hello Adi,

    I made a test project and I get the control characters too.

    It seems like some encoding or decoding is done to the value.  To work around this, I first tried to use HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() or HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(), but it didn't make any change.

    Instead, I used String.Replace to get the expected result:

    String value = WebDropDown1.CurrentValue;
    value = value.Replace("%2F", "/");

    I have attached my sample.  I hope it helps.
