Question

Is there a way to url encode the entire URL querystring without trying to urlencode each individual querystring parameters. Right now I’m having to rebuild the querystring with something like this:

foreach (string x in Page.Request.QueryString.Keys)
{
 sQueryString += x + "=" + Server.UrlEncode(Request.Params.Get(x)) + "&";
}

All you should to do is to get the following value:

Page.Request.Url.Query

See:

    Uri baseUri = new Uri("http://www.contoso.com/catalog/shownew.htm?date=today&<a>=<b&gt;");
    string queryString = baseUri.Query;

The queryString parameter will return ?date=today&%3Ca%3E=%3Cb%3E.

One more edit - from the MSDN:

The Query property contains any query
information included in the URI. Query
information is separated from the path
information by a question mark (?) and
continues to the end of the URI. The
query information returned includes
the leading question mark.

The query information is escaped
according to RFC 2396 by default. If
International Resource Identifiers
(IRIs) or Internationalized Domain
Name (IDN) parsing is enabled, the
query information is escaped according
to RFC 3986 and RFC 3987.
