Question

We have an Id that could look something like this:

WIUHyUT/Evg=/

That we would like to use in the path or an url:

http://localhost/freelancers/WIUHyUT/Evg=/Brigitte

This obviously does not work, so we used HttpUtility.UrlEncode() and get

http://localhost/freelancers/WIUHyUT%2fEvg%3d/Brigitte

But this still does not work.
What would be a good approach here?

Answer 1

We actually decided to encode the whole thing into HEX first:

    public static string GetBytesToString(byte[] value)
    {
        SoapHexBinary shb = new SoapHexBinary(value);
        return shb.ToString();
    }

With this we then just had HEX codes in the url. Works fine.
