Anchor tag (#) corrupts DataQuery as per description at 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7238358/google-data-api-sdk-filter-encoding-e
scaping and

scaping-followup
Data Feed Explorer 
(http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataExplorer.html) manages 
to retrieve data with # just fine.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create blank .NET project referencing Google.GData.Analytics, 
Google.Gdata.Client and Google.GData.GoogleBase
2. Construct a DataQuery with Filters parameter including "#" character. Data 
is not returned even when using HttpUtility.UrlEncode which should be used 
after "ga:filters" is given
3. Observe GDataRequestException being thrown

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for reporting this.

Out of curiosity, why are you referencing the GoogleBase dll?

It's a leftover from when I was testing it, it is not necessary and can be 
removed

I just performed some tests and it looks like the .NET library correctly 
encodes the # symbol as %23. The Data Feed Query Explorer also does the same.

Are you using the latest version of the library?
If you still get the exception when using the # symbol in your filter, please 
capture the HTTP traffic with Fiddler and share it here so that inspect it.
Thanks
