Convert string with special characters to URL in class file, in .net4.0

Question

I have a string below, need to convert it to URl in class file, it contains special characters.

"http://www.GenerateURL.com/try?origins=**Rue 66 & Rue Oued Draa / Rue 77, Tangier, Morocco**&destinations=**Boulevard Lalla Asmaa, Casablanca, Morocco**&language=en-EN&sensor=false"

Many Thanks

I don't understand what "URl in class file" means. Do you want to populate a C# class with the values, or encode as a URI? — AaronLS, Apr 11 '14 at 06:07
There is nothing special about the characters you've shown... Use proper way to construct query string from duplicate bug and avoid any string format/concatenation. — Alexei Levenkov, Apr 11 '14 at 06:11

You can use HttpUtility.UrlEncode(). Here is the documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httputility.urlencode.aspx

At top of your C# file, add `using System.Web;` – Daniel Gabriel Apr 11 '14 at 06:11

Use `WebUtility` http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webutility.aspx – Andy Apr 11 '14 at 06:11

You need to use System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode for this:

string encodedString ="http://www.GenerateURL.com/try?origins=**Rue 66 & Rue Oued Draa / Rue 77, Tangier, Morocco**&destinations=**Boulevard Lalla Asmaa, Casablanca, Morocco**&language=en-EN&sensor=false";

 string real = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(encodedString);

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
