Question

I need to trigger an URL to the browser control in my application. The URL contains a querystring of format DateTime.

Example : http://localhost:31401/WebSite4/PopUp.aspx?DateTime=12%2F10%2F2011+10%3A22%3A11

My problem here is that i have to remove the “/” (Slash) & “:”(Colon) in the date time and add “%2F” & “%3A” in place of these.

Example : 12/10/2011 10:22:11 should be converted to 12%2F10%2F2011+10%3A22%3A11

Is there any built-in method or way to do it? or Shall i have to replace them thorugh manual code?

Answer 1

Try this

 System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode("12/10/2011 10:22:11")

Gives

 12%2f10%2f2011+10%3a22%3a11

You will need to add reference to System.Web.
