Hi all,

When I try to get the parameter from an ASP.NET page, all characters with a
dieresis disappear. So when I request the following URL:
http://www.MyWebsite.com/MyPage.aspx?Name="Müller"

and I use the following C# code:

string Name = Request.Params.Get("Name");

then the variable Name results in Mller, the ü disappears.

In the MyPage.aspx I use:

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1">

Can somebody explain why the characters with a dieresis disappear and how I
can support this characters in the aspx webpage?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Reinier.
