How to fix the issue of constructing strings containing postback URLs with query string parameters and encoding ampersands.

Description

I am having an issue constructing strings containing postback URLs with query string parameters and encoding ampersands. How do I fix this?

Resolution

When using the Sage Exchange Virtual Desktop, one must first create a valid XML document and then HTML form encode it.

• In XML the “&” = “&”
• In HTML the “&” = “&”

When you apply these encodings you receive:

• “&” to xml “&” then to html = “&”

Try ‘double-encoding’ the ampersands as highlighted in yellow above.
