C# method to do URL encoding?

Question

what c# class method can I use to URL encode a URL string?

In my use case I want to pass a URL string as a URL parameter itself. So like burying a URL within a URL. Without some encoding the "&" and "?" characters in the inner URL can get picked up when the parameters for the outer Url parameters are processed

thanks

UrlEncode() and UrlPathEncode() do not encode all special characters.

This method doesn't exists (There are HtmlEncode and HtmlDecode only).

link Its .Net Framework 4.5

This is actually a very good solution since it does not have a dependency on System.Web and can also be used in PCLs.

HttpServerUtility.UrlEncode might be exactly what you are looking for.

Use Server.UrlEncode

You need an instance of the HttpServerUtility class, because the UrlEncode method is not static.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpserverutility(v=VS.90).aspx

I get an error Error... The type 'System.Web.HttpServerUtility' has no constructors defined. How do you new it up then?

I am operating with .net framework 2.0. But it never shows me "UrlEncode" intelisense when I place dot after httpserverutility. Here are the options I see:

HttpServerUtility.Equals 
HttpServerUtility.ReferenceEquals
HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenDecode
HttpServerUtility.UrlTokenEncode

That's it, these are the only options I see. Could I possibly ask for small piece of code as an example to use url encode function?

Thanks,

Linda
