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