Hi I am trying to call an action result in my controller containing parameters, but whenever one of these parameter contains # sign(special character) the string parameters does not include # sing in parameter and Next all parameters are set to null.  Following is my java script through which i am calling my action result.      &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;         $(document).ready(function () {             $('#btnExport').unbind().click(function () {                 var url = @Url.Content("~/BankStatement/ExportBankStatementSummary") +                     "?legalName=" + '@ViewBag.LegalName' +                     "&amp;dba=" + '@ViewBag.DBA' +                      "&amp;contactPerson=" + '@ViewBag.ContactPerson' +                     "&amp;address=" + '@ViewBag.Address' +                      "&amp;period=" + '@ViewBag.Period' +                     "&amp;totalHeading=" + '@ViewBag.TotalHeading';                 window.location = url;             });         });     &lt;/script&gt;   This is the action result that is called in this java script  public ActionResult ExportBankStatementSummary(string legalName, string dba,                                                 string contactPerson, string address,                                                 string period, string totalHeading)     {         ViewBag.LegalName = legalName;         ViewBag.DBA = dba;         ViewBag.ContactPerson = contactPerson;         ViewBag.Address = address;         ViewBag.Period = period;         ViewBag.TotalHeading = totalHeading;          ...   The problem is that in the action result parameters, when ever any of the parameter contains any special character (# in this case) then that parameter and next parameters becomes null.  For example if address is "Street # 2" then parameter address becomes "Street " and next parameters period and totalHeading becomes null.  Any help will be highly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  [I do not agree on the duplication of this question because the marked duplicate question was discussed in detail and the detailed conversation covered the answer of this question but the actual question was totally different from this question.]
How do you safely encode a URL using JavaScript such that it can be put into a GET string?  var myUrl = "http://example.com/index.html?param=1&amp;anotherParam=2"; var myOtherUrl = "http://example.com/index.html?url=" + myUrl;   I assume that you need to encode the myUrl variable on that second line?
Identifying a quotient group (NBHM-$2014$) Let $\mathbb C^*$ denote the multiplicative group of non-zero complex numbers and let $P$ denote the subgroup of positive real numbers. Identify the quotient group.    My thought $$\frac{\mathbb C^*}{P}=\{P,-P,iP,-iP\}.$$ Is it right? How to fetch the columns of the synonyms for linked servers in SQL server I am using two servers local (SQL Server running on my system) and remote (SQL Server running on another system). I have created synonyms in my local server for a table which is located on the remote server.  Synonym used- CREATE SYNONYM [dbo].[test] FOR remoteserver_name .[database_name].[schema_name].object_name  Requirement   I need to fetch the columns of the synonym.  I can retrieve the columns of the synonym using below query in SQL server.  select * from dbo.test   where  dbo is synonym created schema name (local server schema name) and test is synonym name.  I have tried to retrieve the columns of the synonyms using below query, but I cannot fetch the columns  SELECT sys.schemas.name   AS SCHEMA_NAME,        sys.synonyms.name  AS view_name,        sys.columns.name   AS COL_NAME,        sys.types.name     AS data_typename FROM   sys.columns        INNER JOIN sys.synonyms             ON  OBJECT_ID(sys.synonyms.base_object_name) = sys.columns.object_id        INNER JOIN sys.schemas             ON  sys.schemas.schema_id = sys.synonyms.schema_id        LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.types             ON  sys.columns.system_type_id = sys.types.system_type_id WHERE  sys.types.system_type_id = sys.types.user_type_id        AND sys.schemas.name = N'scehmaname'        AND sys.synonyms.name = N'synonymname'   Can you please suggest some other way to retrieve the columns of the synonym or correct the above query? Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier Easiest way to solve $y''+y=\frac{1}{\cos x}$ I am rendering my scene with only one sample but all the renders of the same picture have a different seed value. How can I combine them correctly? I wrote a java-program that loads all the images and takes the average pixel color for each pixel of the images. Is that a correct way of combining the images? It doesn't reduce the noise very much so I am not happy with it. What can I do? How to make git ignore changes in case? I'm not too sure what is going on here, but sometimes a particular file in my repository will change the case of its name. e.g.,: before: File.h after: file.h I don't really care why this is happening, but this causes git to think it is a new file, and then I have to go and change the file name back. Can you just make git ignore case changes? [edit] I suspect it is Visual Studio doing something weird with that particular file, because it seems to happen most often when I open and save it after changes. I don't have any way to fix bugs in VS however, but git should be a bit more capable I hope. I would like to know how to understand/analyse the circuit below. And sorry but my level in electronics is not that high and I could only tell that the opposing transistors on the left are meant to cancel any current from the input , yet I don't really understand the B stage which I think the C stage is well related to , and if I wanted to analyse the nodes around the circuit apart from (A,B,C) How can I do it ?  Is it by measuring the current on resistors/nodes?  and note that the output voltage of the circuit in node C is zero this is what it meant to be.I would appreciate any help.

Installing Guest Additions causing problems I am trying to install Guest Additions in VirtualBox with Windows XP host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest. I followed the above steps:  Devices-&gt; Insert Guest Additions CD Image. After that I locate the folder /media/VBoxAdditions4.3.4_91027/ and run sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run   I want to be able to create shared folders and adjust the resolution of the screen. I achieved to do the first issue, but I couldn't do the second one. I didn't get any message, however it is not possible to change the resolution of the screen and I cannot switch to fullscreen. What am I doing wrong?  I found in the instal log the following message: unknown version of the X Window System. I've tried the solution of the proposed link but I got the following message:  Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed.

Bad return status for module build on kernel 3.13.0-32-generic(i686). How can I make Windows Paint save by default as JPEG format? Every time I want to save an image I've pasted into the  application, it chooses a BMP/DIB format (which is the worst for saving things from the clipboard).  How can I hack Paint into defaulting to the JPEG format when saving images?  I am using Windows XP SP3 and Paint 5.1 at the moment. I hope though that any hacks might be generic and I'd be able to use them across all my Windows machines. I read following in a web site ()     Lenses with maximum apertures of f2.8 allow the camera to use all high   precision sensors. In low light or other situations that are hostile   to autofocus, that’s a big deal. Lenses with a maximum aperture of   f4.0 use only the center focus sensor in its “high precision” mode,   and use the other sensors in their “horizontal line” only mode. Lenses   with a maximum aperture of f5.6 use all sensors in their   “horizontal-only” mode, and lenses with a maximum aperture of f8 use   only the center sensor point, and that with horizontal sensitivity   only.   I want to understand if this is completely true? I am raising this because recently I have purchased a Nikon 70-200 f/4 lens and would like to understand if I have made a wise investment, or, should I collect some more money and buy a 70-200 f/2.8 VR-II lens.

Thank you. iOS navigation bar item image size Maximum of $|\sin(z)|$ as $\{z: |z| \leq 1 \} $  So according to the Maximum Principle, the maximum is when $|z|=1$. I tried using the fact that $\sin z= \dfrac {e^{iz}-e^{-iz}}{2i}$, but didn't know how to continue from there. Setting $z=e^{it}$ doesn't help much.  I saw this question was answered before, however the answer uses hyperbolic functions ($\sinh, \cosh$) which I haven't actually studied.  Thanks in advance for any assistance! Handling mouse events for tool called by button?

I used to run Windows 7 32 bit, but installed the 64 bit version because of a RAM upgrade. During the installation I got this message:      The partition you selected might contain files from a previous Windows installation. If it does, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will not be able to use your previous version of Windows.   The C:\ drive now has two (2) Windows folders:   Windows (15.3 GB) Windows.old (15.7 GB)     Don't see why I need the Windows.old taking over 15GB of space on my hard drive so I tried to delete it. It didn't work.  How can I safely delete this folder? Can you use a Pensieve-memory to explore a place? Why did the Emperor remain motionless while Darth Vader threw him off the balcony? I'm wondering whether this was a movie sin but his body position seemed to stay the same? Also why didn't he stop using Force Lightning? He continued to use it even as he was falling down.   I'm also wondering whether Palpatine meant to electrocute Vader or was it just a coincidence (because he kept firing Force Lightning) .  It makes no sense as he just stood there allowing Vader to throw him. How to process a multi column text file to get another multi column text file?
