Special characters in URL

[Lloyd Sheen]

I have a need to translate special characters like & in URLs. I have a
routine that has been doing this as substitutions based on characters I
notice. This of course does not handle everything.

Is there a dot.net api call for this. For example if I have a folder under
the virtual directory which contains files, the folder name could contain an
& or other allowable characters for file names. The file name can also
contain those characters but when I use them as the URL for links or images
they do not work.

There must be some easy way to handle URLs.

Thanks
LS

Server.UrlEncode

And then Server.UrlDecode to decode the encoded values.
