I have a autocomplete control that even though I see the network call sending this text 'B&J' when it reaches the api it shows up as just 'B' in the filter parameter and the rest is missing. How can I fix this? I'm unable to search name with special character in them.
Network call:
http://localhost:62595/api/Vendors/?$top=20&$filter=substringof(%27b&j%27,tolower(VendorID))
Autocomplete control:
<ejs-autocomplete id="vendors" autofill="true" filterType="Contains" minLength="3" suggestionCount="20" value="@Model.FileData.VendorId"
blur="OnVendorChange" popupWidth="350px" ignoreCase="true"
noRecordsTemplate="@Html.Raw("<span class='norecord'> This Vendor is Invalid</span>")">
<e-autocomplete-fields value="VendorID" text="VendorName"></e-autocomplete-fields>
<e-data-manager url="/api/Vendors" adaptor="WebApiAdaptor" crossDomain="true"></e-data-manager>
</ejs-autocomplete>
API Controller:
[HttpGet]
public Object GetAllVendors([FromQuery(Name = "$filter")] string filter, [FromQuery] string vendorID)
{…..
the filter param comes in with a value of "substringof('b".
