go to file Url, extended ascii gets converted
Hi all,
I have a textbox action 'go to Url' that has links like
\\Myserver\Documents\Documents_Uploaded\Czekański DOC01_169645.pdf
When this link is clicked and the browser is opened (tried it with Edge, Chrome) the link is converted to
\\Myserver\Documents\Documents_Uploaded\CzekaÅski DOC01_169645.pdf which doesn't work obviously.
all extended ascii characters seems to be converted to some other extended character when the browser is opened, can I prevent this conversion from happening, in other words just accept to string the way it is?
And just to make clear when there are no extended ascii characters in the string it works as intended :-)
I tried the System.Uri.EscapeDataString(URL) and System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(URL).ToString
some sites suggested but that doesn't work for files locations only for web urls
Thanks in advance
Rbie
