Does C# have an equivalent to JavaScript's encodeURIComponent()?

Uri.EscapeDataString or HttpUtility.UrlEncode is the correct way to escape a string meant to be part of a URL.

Take for example the string "Stack Overflow":

• HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Stack Overflow") --> "Stack+Overflow"

• Uri.EscapeUriString("Stack Overflow") --> "Stack%20Overflow"

• Uri.EscapeDataString("Stack + Overflow") --> Also encodes "+" to "%2b" ---->Stack%20%2B%20%20Overflow

Only the last is correct when used as an actual part of the URL (as opposed to the value of one of the query string parameters)

HttpUtility.HtmlEncode / Decode
HttpUtility.UrlEncode / Decode

You can add a reference to the System.Web assembly if it's not available in your project

I tried to do full compatible analog of javascript's encodeURIComponent for c# and after my 4 hour experiments I found this

c# CODE:

string a = "!@#$%^&*()_+ some text here али мамедов баку";a = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(a);a = a.Replace("+", "%20");

the result is:!%40%23%24%25%5e%26*()_%2b%20some%20text%20here%20%d0%b0%d0%bb%d0%b8%20%d0%bc%d0%b0%d0%bc%d0%b5%d0%b4%d0%be%d0%b2%20%d0%b1%d0%b0%d0%ba%d1%83

After you decode It with Javascript's decodeURLComponent();

you will get this: !@#$%^&*()_+ some text here али мамедов баку

Thank You for attention
