Hello,

is there a difference between

System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode

and

Server.UrlEncode ?


Thanks in advance,

as far as i know, the latter is available in VB, and not c#.

but they'll be the same function, but in different places for difference
people.

No.

Server.UrlEncode() calls HttpUtility.UrlEncode() to do its work. It just
makes sure that the encoding specified in the HTTP headers
(Response.ContentEncoding) is used (if any).

I'm not sure what you're asking.

Server.UrlEncode( s)

is equivalent to

HttpUtility.UrlEncode( s, Response.ContentEncoding)

Basically Server.UrlEncode() is implemented as a convenience and to
provide backward compatibility with Classic ASP.

Call whichever one you like.
