I have a String that contains the following:

?workarea=London+&+Home+Counties+Ltd&sub=fs&&&FASh*5

which resembles a URI query string. What is the best way to parse the elements of this string (workarea and sub) without messing about with string manipulation?

If I use HttpUtility.ParseQueryString is gets stuck as both elements include &. However if I encode the whole thing first I lose the seperations of the elements. Ideally the output would be:

  • workarea = London & Home Counties Ltd
  • sub = fs&&&FASh*5
