Help with HtmlTextWriter

[larryvan]

I have been beating my head against a wall for two days now. I need to
output a hyperlink using htmltextwriter.write that looks like this:

<a href='manageforums.aspx?CID=<%=Request.QueryString("CID")%>'>

When I run the app and click on the link it looks like this:

http://mycomputer/xmlnodes/manageforums.aspx?CID=<%=Request.QueryString("CID")%>

If I view the source in notepad the syntax for the link is correct.
Furthermore, I can save that page with a .aspx extension and load it
into the browser and the link works correctly.

Any ideas? This seems like something developers would want to do quite
often.

I can't seem to see your page.

Try UrlEncode the link.

Response.Redirect("http://mycomputer/xmlnodes/manageforums.aspx?CID=" +
Server.UrlEncode("<%=Request.QueryString("CID")%>"));

Grant,

Thanks for replying. What I am trying to do is use the htmltextwriter
to output the line. I am reading in an xml file and parsing it for
output to an aspx page.

Here is the line of code:

htmltextwriter.writer(("'<a
href=my.aspx?CID=<%=request.querystring(&quot;CID&quot%>'>my
link</a>")

As I mentioned above, when I run the web app the link shows
http://mycomputer/xmlnodes/manageforums.aspx?CID=<%=Request.QueryString("CID")%>
(mycomputer is a fictious url)

If I view source with notepad and save it as an aspx page the link
works properly.
