UrlEncode through a console application?

Question

Normally I would just use:

HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode("url"); 

But since this is a console application, HttpContext.Current is always going to be null.

Is there another method that does the same thing that I could use?

Answer 1

I'm not a .NET guy, but, can't you use:

HttpUtility.UrlEncode Method (String) 

Which is described here:

HttpUtility.UrlEncode Method (String) on MSDN

Answer 2

Try this!

Uri.EscapeUriString(url); 

Or

Uri.EscapeDataString(data) 

No need to reference System.Web.
