How can I add an ampersand for a value in a ASP net C app config file value

Question

I ve got a C  program with values in a config file   What I want is to store ampersands for an url value like      lt appSettings gt     lt add key  myurl  value  http   www myurl com  amp cid  amp sid    gt   lt  appSettings gt    But I get errors building my site   The ampersand is not allowed   I ve tried various forms of escaping the ampersands to no avail   Anyone know of the correct form to do this   All suggestions are welcome

Although the accepted answer here is technically correct  there seems to be some confusion amongst users based on the comments   When working with a ViewBag in a  cshtml file  you must use  Html Raw otherwise your data  after being unescaped by the ConfigurationManager  will become re-escaped once again   Use Html Raw   to prevent this from occurring
