Creating querystring with anchor link

Question

I have a controller that returns a redirect and I want to add an anchor link so it goes to a specific element. The problem I'm having is the element '#' gets converted to '%23'. I've tried encoding and decoding both # and %23 but it doesn't seem to work, so I feel like I'm missing something.

The code is:

return RedirectToCurrentUmbracoPage($"?success={success.ToString().ToLower()}"+"#sentletter");

I want the result to be

?success=true#sentletter

but it ends up as

?success=true%23sentletter

Thanks

did u tried `System.Net.WebUtility.UrlEncode` and `System.Net.WebUtility.UrlDecode`? — pradeep1991singh, Dec 15 '16 at 17:46
Yes, trying UrlDecode("%23sentletter") still gives me a url with %23 in it — KingOfKong, Dec 15 '16 at 18:05
I don't know if this will help with Umbraco, but you could try escaping it with a '/' (i.e., +"/#sentletter) to see if that works. — nocturns2, Dec 15 '16 at 22:35
That actually seems to do the opposite, it returns %2f%23sentletter — KingOfKong, Dec 16 '16 at 17:12

In server side you have various methods for URL encoding, this info is very useful for a encoding in server side, for cliente side you can check this info for more info.

Ok but this is encoding, and I believe I'm trying to do the opposite and decode – KingOfKong Dec 16 '16 at 17:13
