there's probably some weird character in the filename "%2fSRSS+-+Reports" which is causing the framework to spit that back at you... so unless you have an easy way to control the naming of your folders and or files... i'm afraid you'll have to replace the improper characters in the path BEFORE posting it in the URL, and then changing the characters you've replaced BACK to their original state when you try to open the folder in your back-end.

Hi Max,

I just have the Folder name as 'SSRS - Reports' . The url came as encoded once I view it in the browser and I am copying and pasting the url.

How can we use the special characters in asp.net sitemapnode?

Thanks,

MaxOvrdrv2

try running the same URL, without the %2f in front and see if that loads...

otherwise, there's a problem with the input field where you're entering the folder path (i.e.: the URL encode sees a space or some other character... i believe %2f is the forward slash... ) maybe you're not concatenating your input string properly? or is the forward slash supposed to be there?

is the "." part of the URL as well?

Also, in your code, if you try to run the sitemap without decoding the path first, it'll crash:

Server.URLDecode(Request.Querystring("ItemPath"))

cheers!

I removed %2f , I think that should be there but still not luck. '.' is not a part of the url
