Other Versions

Converts a URI string to its escaped representation.

Namespace: System
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Syntax

Copy

public static string EscapeUriString(
	string stringToEscape
)

Parameters

stringToEscape: Type: System.String
The string to escape.

Return Value

Type: System.String
A String that contains the escaped representation of stringToEscape.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	stringToEscape is null.
UriFormatException	The length of stringToEscape exceeds 32766 characters.

Remarks

The EscapeUriString method converts all characters, except RFC 3986 reserved and unreserved characters, to their hexadecimal representation. All Unicode characters are converted to UTF-8 format before being escaped.

This method assumes that stringToEscape has no escape sequences in it.

The string is escaped according to RFC 3986. See this RFC for a definition of reserved and unreserved characters.

Use the EscapeUriString method to prepare an unescaped URI string to be a parameter to the Uri constructor.
