Asp.Net - Problem creating a link to hash-tag on Twitter

.NET
1

Hi all,

I need to create some links to the Twitter search page.

In my first example ‘link1’, that works fine, when you click the link you go to the twitter search results for ‘wc2010’.

However, in my second link I want to search for the hashtag+wx2010, which is how data is related/grouped on Twitter. My second link always just redirects to a user called ‘wc20210’ which is not what I want. How can I create a link to a hashtagged word on Twitter?

string link1 = “<a href=‘http://www.twitter.com/search?q=wc2010’>Link 1 to Twitter</a>”;
string link2 = “<a href=‘http://www.twitter.com/search?q=#wc2010’>Link 2 to Twitter</a>”;

Response.Write(link1.ToString() + “<p>”);
Response.Write(link2.ToString());

Regards

string link2 = "<a href='http://www.twitter.com/search?#wc2010'>Link 2 to Twitter</a>";

Hi USPatriot,

Sorry, that doesn’t solve my problem, it only duplicates it.

I’m trying to create a link to a hash-tagged word on Twitter. Your code causes Twitter to redirect to a user called wc2010, which is not what I’m looking for.

Thanks for the reply.
