Hi there,
I'm using SocialShare and I'm setting the Title and the URL to share in the Page_Init event of my page. However, the tweet-button does not get the values from the SocialShare control. When I set them explicitly, the button gets the correct values. I also tried it in the Page_Load event, also without any result.
Setting the values dynamically for the Facebook Like Button works perfectly.
I also tried setting the Title and the URL from codebehind by looping through the mainbuttons. This did not work either.
Does someone have an idea how I can solve this?

Hi,
In case you are using the Standard Twitter button please keep in mind that its original implementation from twitter has issues with querystrings, so this may be causing the problem in your case. Could you try using the HttpUtility.UrlEncode() method before setting the URL for the twitter button and see if this helps?
This will confuse their engine and it will miss the query string.
Another alternative is to use the styled twitter button instead:

tb.UrlToShare = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(url); //tb is a reference to the TwitterButton This will confuse their engine and it will miss the query string.
