Please use Server.UrlEncode on your querystring that will parse the '#' for you

Actually, I think you want to URLEncode, not HtmlEncode. There's a difference. – David Jul 02 '12 at 16:24

I think you might mean UrlEncode... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zttxte6w.aspx – Chris Jul 02 '12 at 16:24

One thing I found out that you dont have to use Server.UrlDecode just use Request.QueryString["someParam"] – Shomaail Oct 30 '16 at 11:37

Try using %23. This is the url encoded value for #.

The best way to pass #, & and other special characters without causing problems in asp.net query string is to use Server.UrlEncode()
See the following example.

  private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
     Response.Redirect("page.Aspx?"+"someParam="+Server.UrlEncode("1234#5")); 
  }

or use %23 replacing # but I think the more suitable way is using Server.UrlEncode() so you can use other special characters without any problem.
