I am trying to get the clientcontext of the subsite that I create

In the below code I check if the site exits and return the url if its existing

            var web = context.Web;
            context.Load(web, w => w.Webs);
            context.ExecuteQuery();
            var subWeb = (from w in web.Webs where w.Title == webTitle select w).SingleOrDefault();
            if (subWeb == null)
                return false;
            Url = subWeb.Url;

This works for cases where the website url is not containing special characters like é

When it has characters like that I get the below error

Cannot contact site at the specified URL https://abc.sharepoint.com/sites/abc/xxx-BeaujonImieMol�culaire.

I doubt that part of the URL as its not the same special character

How should I handle this? How should characters like � be handled or converted to actual character?

  • How are you passing the webTitle parameter ? Looks like an issue there Oct 9, 2017 at 11:27
  • I'm reading it from excel, and the parameter also contains � instead of the actual character Oct 9, 2017 at 11:34
  • hmm, fix it there. Code looks fine Oct 9, 2017 at 11:34

I had the same issue once. I solved it by copying the text into notepad and encode it to UTF-8
