Griview cells Text Special Characterssuch as an & or " it returns it constant & or " instead of the actual Character. Any way to modify this code to get the actual Character as it is displayed in the cell? Sample cell actual text: A & C Hauling dim ven as String ven = me.Gridview1.SelectedRow.Cells(2).Text Result to ven variable is A & Hauling Thanks John John
I take it that the code is in response to the "selected-index_changed" event (Y/N?) If so then you need to retrieve the data from the original data source rather than the content of grid cells. The easiest way is to obtain the record's primary key value and query the source programatically.

selected record, but I think considering the few special Characters I would to just do replace on the cell data than have to pull from the datasource all over again. I was hoping there was a simple way to convert or cast it from its constant. Thanks for your reply.

For the character formatting, are you using the default "BoundField"? If so, gridview's boundfield will perform html encoding on boundfield content(when set via databinding) so as to avoid some potential malicious injected script code: #BoundField.HtmlEncode Property http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.boundfiel d.htmlencode.aspx You can try turn it off if you're sure the characters in the content is safe and non characters in it will bread page's html source(e.g it doesn't contain chars like '<', '>'....).

worked. Seeing as I do not allow any editing of that cell, I take it that it will be safe to do. But I also want to try the latest Idea of: Server.HtmlDecode to see how that works also for the times when I need that security. Thanks for all your help.
