Here the code first

tc = New TableCell

tc.Text &= "[<a href=""business.aspx?id=" & rs.Item("businessname") & "&action=e"" class=""minilink"">edit</a>]"

when I am getting record from sql database if the record has & character it is not recognizing and stops right there. For example, if the rs.item("businessname") happen to be A & B , it gets only A and stops there and doesn't get the whole thing. Why this is happening?

If the business name has an & in it, it's seen as two different query string parameters because query strings are delimited by &. To use an "&" in a URL you have to replace the "&" character with the escape code "%26".

This link has a more in-depth explanation:

Hope that helps.
