String Escape Characters added to DataKeyValues

[Cliff]

I am working with a datasource that uses a 5 character code as the fileid & PK. This code can contain any printable character, so I have some fileid(s) that shape up like this: AAA/>, AAA:/, etc.

In RadGrid, I have added this field to the DataKeyFields and access it in grid_itemCreated() to build a javascript link used in a button column.

Here is the problem, the FileID is 'AAA/>' but the code below extracts the fileid from the keyvalue as 'AAA//>'
and causes a "no records found" since the primary key has an extra / in it.

I cannot locate the place where this / is being added nor eliminate it on extract, any ideas?

protected void dg_results_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            HyperLink editLink = (HyperLink)e.Item.FindControl("EditLink");
            editLink.Attributes["href"] = "#";
            editLink.Attributes["onclick"] = String.Format("return ShowEditForm('{0}','{1}');", e.Item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[e.Item.ItemIndex]["FileId"], e.Item.ItemIndex);
                 }
    }

Hi Cliff,

What about modifing the string before you pass it to the javascript method? If, for example you have a string with value "char\\" the following code would replace the unneded '\' only in case the length of the string is 6 (an escaping char is appended):

if (str.Length > 5 && str.IndexOf("//") != -1)
  {
      str = str.Remove(str.IndexOf("//"), 0);
  }

All the best,
