URL-encode a URL

Question

Is there a .NET encoding method I could use to encode a URL to be passed within a URL parameter?

For example say I have:

url_of_interest = "http://asdf.asdf/asdf.htm"

and I want to include this as one (1) URL form parameter when I do an upload to a web-application:

http://mywebservice/upload?url=<<encoded URL here>>

Answer 1

System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode

Answer 2

HttpServerUtility.UrlEncode should do the trick:
