HttpServerUtility.UrlEncode Method (String)
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
URL encoding ensures that all browsers will correctly transmit text in URL strings. Characters such as ?, &, /, and spaces might be truncated or corrupted by some browsers, so those must be encoded in <a> tags or in query strings where the strings can be re-sent by a browser in a request string.
UrlEncode is a convenient way to access the System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode method at run time from an ASP.NET Web application. Internally, UrlEncode uses System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode to encode strings.
The following code example URL-encodes a string before sending it to a browser client. In this example, the string MyURL is encoded as "http%3a%2f%2fwww.contoso.com%2farticles.aspx%3ftitle+%3d+ASP.NET+Examples".
String myURL;
myURL = "http://www.contoso.com/articles.aspx?title = ASP.NET Examples";
get_Response().Write(("<A HREF = " + get_Server().UrlEncode(myURL)
+ "> ASP.NET Examples <br>"));
var myURL : String myURL = "http://www.contoso.com/articles.aspx?title = ASP.NET Examples" Response.Write( "<A HREF = " + Server.UrlEncode(myURL) + "> ASP.NET Examples <br>")
