Hi,

I am debugging a page that binds a list of RSS items to an ASP repeater. For each item a short article and a link is generated. Please see a slightly abbreviated version below.

	
		

			
<%# evalitem2.title.text>
			
<%# getpreviewtextevalitem2>

			" returns numeric id strings title="">
			<%# translate rsspage readmore>
			 
		
	

For the first four RSS items, the following URLs, of which all but the second one are valid, are generated:

http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_a&id=82
http://localhost:58281/contentassets/160edd27a99a466a8d3a435ea82ec057/?page_title_b
http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_c&id=73
http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_d&id=80

If I increase the numeric IDs by one (substituting Eval("Item1") with (int.Parse((string)Eval(Item1)) + 1).ToString())), I get the following URLs for the same RSS items:

http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_a&id=83
http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_b&id=82
http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_c&id=74
http://localhost:58281/contentassets/160edd27a99a466a8d3a435ea82ec057/?page_title_d

Without the ID part, the remaining parts of the URLs are generated correctly:

http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_a&id=
http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_b&id=
http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_c&id=
http://localhost:58281/url_subpath/?page_title_d&id=

(I have generalized and simplified the URLs for clarity.)

Some observations:

• ID=81 seems to cause EPiServer to transform the URL. (Although there are more cases not listed here.)
• The transformation is not done by any of the functions called in the code above
• I have also tried having the URL-generating code in codebehind. Proper URLs are generated there.
• The URLs containing contentassets are invalid.
• The URLs that should have been generated are valid.

I would like to know why this is done, at what phase, and how it can be avoided. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

Hampus
