You have to encode '&' as an HTML entity.

<a href="/stat?name=shahin%20%26%20karina" />

Try rewriting the html code as:

<a href="/stat?shahin%20%26%20karina" />

%20 is a url-encoded space and %26 is the url-encoded ampersand

You can use this tool to try encoding different strings (in this example, you would encode "shahin & karina")

You need to encode the URL. There is surely a library for it in .NET.

I believe all you would need to do is URL encode the ampersand (and possibly the space character).

Try something like this - 

<a href="/stat?name=shahin%20%26%20karina">
  • %20 is an encoded space character.
  • %26 - is the encoded ampersand character.

I have absolutely zero knowledge or experience with asp.net but I'm fairly sure that there are native URL encoding functions...
