How do you link within SharePoint to a site that has an Ampersand in it's URL?
My goal was to get SharePoint to use an ID inserted into a field to link to a TFS item VIA the web interface for TFS.
How do you link within SharePoint to a site that has an Ampersand in it's URL?
My goal was to get SharePoint to use an ID inserted into a field to link to a TFS item VIA the web interface for TFS.
I was trying to get my SharePoint Task List to point to TFS. The TFS URL uses the following format:
So, naturally, you'd think that you could just append {@TFS_x0020_Item_x0020_Number} to the end.
Sadly, this isn't so.
Instead, I had to use & to get the desired output. My full code looked like this:
In the end, I was successfully able to link to TFS from Sharepoint.
I suspect this solution has uses for linking to other sites that include Ampersands (&) and other special characters.
