encodeURIComponent

public string encodeURIComponent(string uriComponent)

The escaped URI component.

Parameters

uriComponent

The URI component to encode.

Encodes an individual URI "component" such as:

• Query strings
• Protocol
• Hostname
• etc.

The following characters will not be encoded: -_.~!*()'

The encoding works by converting characters via UTF-8 encoding. The resulting stream of octets is represented with an escape sequence of the form "%xx". Note that with UTF-8 encoding, the final encoded result can be composed of one, two, three, or four escape sequences depending on the bit combination required to represent the code point.

If the input URI component is invalid, System.Exceptions.InvalidURIException will be thrown. An example of an invalid URI would be a UTF-8 high surrogate without a corresponding low surrogate.
