Problem storing a URL in my Web.config?

[Guest]

I want to store a URL like <add key name="someURL"
value="http://test/test.aspx?id=1&name=test" />

When I try this I get an error when I try to build/run the application.

What is the correct way to store this in the Web.Config. It does'nt seem to
like the question mark and &.

You need to encode the ? and &.

I think the question mark is %3f (though not sure). The & can be encoded as
&amp;
