I am trying to extend the Wrox shop and allow users to pay using paypal.I want to pass the values to Paypay using a query string but am getting this error.

Ive tried posting to Paypal dev and tech support with no help at all.
Just thot one of you guys might know how to fix this

my code is below

Protected Sub btnPay_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPay.Click
        Dim orderNumber As String = lblOrderNumber.Text
        Dim orderAmount As String = lblOrderAmount.Text
        Dim amt As String = orderAmount.Replace(",", ".")
        Dim shp As String = "5.00"
        Dim url As String = "https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&upload=1&currency_code=GBP&rm=2 &[email protected]&custom=orderNumber&amount=amt&shipping=s hp"
        Response.Redirect(url)
    End Sub


Please help.

The URL you're trying to redirect looks incorrect, as it seems to start with mail@ instead of https://www.paypal

Also, you're sending hard coded text, not the values. E.g.

orderNumber&amount=amt

should be something like:

orderNumber&amount" & amt & "....

Additionally, you can look at String.Format to make this code a bit more readable.
