Does asp.net mvc Url.Content encode the string?

Question

Does asp.net mvc Url.Content encode the input or should I also use Url.Encode on top of it?

Answer 1

No.

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.urlhelper.content(VS.90).aspx it only expands the ~ character. If that character does not exist then the path is returned as it was passed in.

You can also test it. Using ASP.Net 4.0 it did not for me.
