    <p>I have a url like this: <code>http://localhost:8080/search.json?q=L%u00e6r</code>, which is the encoded search for Lær. </p> <p>Unfortunately creating a WebRequest from this url using <code>WebRequest.Create(url)</code> produces the following url: <code>http://localhost:8080/search.json?q=L%25u00e6r</code>. </p> <p>Notice that it incorrectly decodes <code>%u00e6</code>, and produces <code>%25u00e6r</code>. Is there a way to either convert this kind of unicode escaped value or get WebRequest.Create to properly handle it?</p> <p>This should most likely be reported as a bug to the .net team. <code>WebRequest.Create()</code> cannot use the query string returned by <code>Request.QueryString.ToString()</code> if the query contains a §, æ, ø or å (or any other non-ascii character). Here is a small mvc action which can be used to test it. Call it with the query <code>Query?q=L%C3A6r</code></p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Query() { var query = Request.QueryString.ToString(); var url = "http://localhost:8080?" + query; var request = WebRequest.Create(url); using (var response = request.GetResponse()) using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream()) { return new FileStreamResult(stream, "text/plain"); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit</strong>:</p> <p>Unfortunately @animaonline's solution does not work with urls like <code>http://localhost:8080/search.json?q=Lek+%26+L%u00e6r</code>, which are decoded into <code>http://localhost:8080/search.json?q=Lek &amp; Lær</code>, where <code>WebRequest.Create</code> gets confused about the <code>&amp;</code>, and thinks it separates parameters, instead of being part of the parameter <code>q</code>.</p>

    1. COIf you pass it in without encoding, surely it would do the encoding for you?

    2. COI did not create the url, it was given to the application by a third party. Now I need to use the url against the same third party. It works in the browser, but not in C#

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
