Windows Phone 7 - passing values between pages

Question

I am trying to send the values between the pages using :

NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(\"/ABC.xaml?name=\" + Company + \"&city=\" + City , UriKind.R         


        

Answer 1

The & character is treated as a special character in query strings as a means of separating values. It needs to be escaped into %26.

For more information on how to escape URLs easily using Uri.EscapeUriString.

For example:

string Company = "ABC & D";
string City = "Falls Church";
string escaped = Uri.EscapeUriString("/ABC.xaml?name=" + Company + "&city=" + City);
var uri = new Uri(escaped, UriKind.Relative);
