I have a page in which i have a textbox. This textbox message is used in the code .
But when i use some special chraters i get some error . So i wrote a javascript
which encode the textvalue using escape() fuction. In the code secion i use
HttpUtility.UrlDecode(txtMessage.Text) to decode the text .But When i give  Ü  in
text box and when i decode i am getting blank . why is it so .Also
 am not able to use \ ,^ etc ..

 For all characters, try this:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var s = encodeURIComponent('sadadsdas+-');
alert(s);
var s2 = decodeURIComponent(s);
alert(s2);
// -->
</script>

Thanks for your reply .But I need the decoding to be done in code not script . Can we do that.

What do you mean? That is code.

Ok .See we are doing the encoding in script which will be written in default.aspx . I need to write the decoding in default.aspx.cs , because i want to use that decoded values for some other purpose in default.aspx.cs . Thanks in advance

 You can't encode it from the client-side and then decode it from the server-side and expect everything to work out right. Pick a side and do both from there.

A bit late, but handy for anyone else who stumbles across this thread looking for the solution...

The trick is to use encodeURIComponent instead of escape in the JavaScript! :)
