I have the following piece of code which constructs the PayPal CheckOut link. And on the click event, I <g class="gr_ gr_153 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style multiReplace" id="153" data-gr-id="153">am calling</g> this function that is shown below.

The string formatting appears to be incorrectly displayed for the currency. The output generated is given below. Have a look at the text before GBP.

<g class="gr_ gr_213 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="213" data-gr-id="213">http</g>://www.paypal.com/<g class="gr_ gr_214 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="214" data-gr-id="214">cgi</g>-bin/webscr?cmd_cart&business=resourcemapper2018@gmail.com&return=www.example.com&cancel_return=www.example.com¤cy=GBP&shopping_url=Abc&item_name=sss&amount=2&add=1

Thanks for your help.

public static string ToPayPalAddItem(string productUrl, string productName, decimal productPrice, string productOptions)
{
return HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode(string.Format("{0}&business={1}&return={2}&cancel_return={3}&currency={4}&shopping_url={5}&item_name={6}&amount={7}&add=1",
UFCFUD60M.Common.CPayPalConfiguration.PayPalUrl, //0
UFCFUD60M.Common.CPayPalConfiguration.PayPalEMail, //1
UFCFUD60M.Common.CPayPalConfiguration.PayPalReturnUrl, //2
UFCFUD60M.Common.CPayPalConfiguration.PayPalCancelUrl, //3
UFCFUD60M.Common.CPayPalConfiguration.PayPalCurrency, //4
productUrl, //5
productName, //6
productPrice,
productOptions

));
}

namespace UFCFUD60M.Common
{
public class CPayPalConfiguration
{

private readonly string zPayPalUrl;

public static string PayPalUrl
{
get
{

return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalUrl"];
}
}

public static string PayPalEMail
{
get
{
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalEMail"];
}
}

public static string PayPalCurrency
{
get
{
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalCurrency"];
}
}

public static string PayPalReturnUrl

get
{
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalReturnUrl"];
}
}

public static string PayPalCancelUrl
{
get
{
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalCancelUrl"];
}
}
}
}


<add key="PayPalUrl" value="http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd_cart"/>
<add key="PayPalEMail" value="resourcemapper2018@gmail.com"/>
<add key="PayPalCurrency" value="GBP"/>
<add key ="PayPalReturnUrl" value="www.example.com"/>

Hi Aryaman,

According to your description, I suggest you to use HttpUtility.UrlEncode( ) not UrlPathEncode( ).

HttpUtility.UrlEncode( ) will both encode the url and querystring parameter but UrlPathEncode( ) will only encode the url part.

Since you want to encode the Querystring part , It will show the result you want by using HttpUtility.UrlEncode( ).

Here is a demo ,I hope it can help you.

aspx:

<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label><br />
            <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>

aspx.cs:

public partial class encode : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Label1.Text = HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode("http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd_cart&business=resourcemapper2018@gmail.com");
            Label2.Text = HttpUtility.UrlEncode("http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd_cart&business=resourcemapper2018@gmail.com");
        }
    }

It shows as below:

Best Regards
