Hi everybody,

I'm a student.

I'm implementing a application using ASP.NET and I get an error when I fill textbox with data of gridview. Please see below:

C#

//row as GridViewRow.
txtOperatorName.Text = row.Cells[2].Text;

The GridviewRow I select have value "Lê Thánh Tiên" (Vietnamese name) but it's become "L& #234; Th& #225;nh Ti& #234;n" (no spacing between '&' and '#') in the textbox I fill in. Please tell me what problem here and how to fix it...

My English is bad and I sorry if it make you uncomfortable.

Many thanks...

I declared a string var and used a break point to debug. The result I get as same as the text displayed in textbox.

Did you check using the break Point ,
What result you get from "GridView1.Rows[1].Cells[2].Text". The same result will be displayed in Textbox.Debug your code and check the result. before bind to textbox.

The the problem is from the data base.Check how the result is displayed in the database.

Kaito Nguyen 21-Dec-14 23:41pm

database has no problem. It's display data normally...

syed shanu 21-Dec-14 23:43pm

When you bind the gridview check with the break point and check the dataset or data table result as what format you get the data.it will be hard to explain what exactly you have done.

Kaito Nguyen 21-Dec-14 23:50pm

I checked with many ways. I notice that the result of returning of "GridView1.Rows[1].Cells[2].Text" is problem. Value I bind the gridview is displayed normally. it's same in database.

Thank you so much!
The second link works. I fix this problem by:
Server.HtmlDecode(row.Cells[2].Text);
