HttpServerUtility.UrlPathEncode Method

.NET Framework 4.5

URL-encodes the path section of a URL string and returns the encoded string.

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

public string UrlPathEncode(
	string s
)

Parameters

s: Type: System.String
The text to URL-encode.

Return Value

Type: System.String
The URL encoded text.

Remarks

URL encoding ensures that all browsers will correctly transmit text in URL strings. Characters such as a question mark (?), ampersand (&), slash mark (/), and spaces might be truncated or corrupted by some browsers. As a result, these characters must be encoded in <a> tags or in query strings where the strings can be re-sent by a browser in a request string.

UrlPathEncode is a convenient way to access the HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode method at run time from an ASP.NET application. Internally, UrlPathEncode uses HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode to encode strings.

Examples

The following example URL-encodes a string and then sends it to a browser client. In this example, the string MyURL is encoded as "http%3a%2f%2fwww.contoso.com%2farticles.aspx?title = ASP.NET Examples".

String MyURL;
MyURL = "http://www.contoso.com/articles.aspx?title = ASP.NET Examples";

Response.Write( "<A HREF = " + Server.UrlPathEncode(MyURL) +  "> ASP.NET Examples <br>" );
