Convert string to proper URI format?

Question

Is there any easy way to convert email address string into proper URI format?

Input:

http://mywebsite.com/validate_email/3DE4ED727750215D957F8A1E4B117C38E7250C33/[email protected]  

Output should be:

http://mywebsite.com/validate_email/3DE4ED727750215D957F8A1E4B117C38E7250C33/myemail%40yahoo.com  

If I didn't do the output, I get an error response like

An Error Was Encountered
The URI you submitted has disallowed characters.

Thanks in advance !

Description

You have to extract your QueryString from the url, encode them and build the new url.

Sample

string url = "http://mywebsite.com/validate_email/3DE4ED727750215D957F8A1E4B117C38E7250C33/[email protected]";
int index = url.LastIndexOf("/");

string queryString = url.Substring(index + 1, url.Length - (index + 1));
url = url.Substring(0, index) + "/" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(queryString);

// url is now
// http://mywebsite.com/validate_email/3DE4ED727750215D957F8A1E4B117C38E7250C33/myemail%40yahoo.com
