How to correct parse query string in C# if value contains ampersand?

c#

Solution

The ampersand (`&`) in the middle of one of your values is throwing off the parser since it's a reserved symbol. Replace it with its numeric code instead:

string qs = "?artist=singer1+%26+singer2&song=name song"; 
NameValueCollection query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(qs);

Problem

I need parse query string: `?artist=singer1 & singer2&song=name song` Static method `HttpUtility.ParseQueryString` doesn't work the way I want if value contains ampersand like "singer1 & singer2". For example: ``` string qs = "?artist=singer1 & singer2&song=name song"; NameValueCollection query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(qs); ``` Result is: - artist = singer1 - null = singer2 - song = name song I would like result ``` artist = singer 1 & singer2 song = name song ``` Any idea?
