[Solved] LoadContentFrom URL encoding?

[Michael Strasser]

It looks like the LoadContentFrom method is encoding the URL when using more that 1 parameter (instead of encoding the parameter value(s) only).

I have a tabstrip within a ViewUserControl (that gets rendered as a PartialView).

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Routing" %>
<%
    Guid OrganizationId = new Guid(ViewData["OrganizationId"].ToString());
    Guid OrganizationUnitId = new Guid(ViewData["OrganizationalUnitId"].ToString());

    Response.Write("<div class=\"RowDetailsContainer\" style=\"text-align: left;\">");

    Html.Telerik().TabStrip()
        .Name("Tab" + OrganizationId.ToString())
        .Items(parent =>
            {
                parent.Add()
                    .Text("Unit Staff " + Url.Action("SummaryPersonMember", "OrganizationalUnit", new { organizationId = OrganizationId, organizationalUnitId = OrganizationUnitId }).ToString())
                    .LoadContentFrom("SummaryPersonMember", "OrganizationalUnit", new { organizationId = OrganizationId, organizationalUnitId = OrganizationUnitId })
                    ;
            }
        )
        /*.SelectedIndex(0)*/
        .Render();

    Response.Write("</div>");
%>

// Notes: OrganizationId and OrganizationUnitId are Guids.

When rendered, the url is rendered as:

http://localhost:8644/OrganizationalUnit/SummaryPersonMember?organizationId=6f898cee-9010-4a52-860c-9d0ef967d05c&amp;organizationalUnitId=2a81d7d4-bd87-4eea-8c48-30f364bb25f2






Note the &amp; between the parameters instead of the &.  If this runs, it will cause an error because the method in the controller is expecting 2 params.

I get the same problem if I use the following:

.LoadContentFrom(Url.Action("SummaryPersonMember", "OrganizationalUnit", new { organizationId = OrganizationId, organizationalUnitId = OrganizationUnitId }))

I think I have similar problems in the telerik MVC menu, which I am attempting to get to.

Thanks!

Hello Michael,

Thank you for pointing out this issue.

In order to avoid this erroneous behavior you will need to open UI/NavigationItemLinkRenderer.cs file and replace this code snippet:

public void Start(T item, string url)
       {
           if (item.Enabled)
           {
                                           item.LinkHtmlAttributes.Merge("href",  System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlAttributeEncode(url), false);
           }

           item.LinkHtmlAttributes.PrependInValue("class", " ", UIPrimitives.Link);
           writer.AddAttributes(item.LinkHtmlAttributes);
           writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.A);
       }

with this one:

public void Start(T item, string url)
{
    if (item.Enabled)
    {
        item.LinkHtmlAttributes.Merge("href", url, false);
    }

    item.LinkHtmlAttributes.PrependInValue("class", " ", UIPrimitives.Link);
    writer.AddAttributes(item.LinkHtmlAttributes);
    writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.A);
}

The fix will be included in one of the upcoming releases.
