URLEncode in asp.net
The Server.URLEncode method in classic asp worked great: it only encoded invalid url characters, producing a legal url string.
The URLEncode method I found for asp.net behaves strangely: it encodes EVERY character (maybe except for alphanumeric chars. . .??) in a url, even the legal ones.
so the following illegal url SHOULD be coded as
bad: http://www.google.com/my special folder/my page.html
good: http://www.google.com/my%20special%20folder/my%20page.html
the .net version even encodes the forward slashes (legal in url), so the resulting url is *wrong*
So: Is there a method in .net that behaves exactly like classic asp's Server.URLEncode() method?

no offense intended. . .
but you just gave me a single link with no explanation. i gave you the points. i feel that an 'A' should go to a carefully constructed and explained answer.
anyway, i had already tried what that link suggests, and maybe i had just implemented it wrong.
i'm not giving the C as a slap in the face, i'm just giving it to reflect the effort required to cut and paste a link, little effort needed.
anyway, the question was simple, and i suppose it warrants a simple answer.
sorry if that bugged you. i guess i should have given an 'A'. my bad. i'll change it if there's a way. I was thinking "C" = Average, not "C" = Crap.

If something does not work, you could always ask me. 'C' is an insult to me. Sorry you are balcklisted unless you ask CS to change it https://www.experts-exchange.com/Community_Support/

didn't mean to insult. i'm new at EE so i'm not up on the culture. i'll request to have it changed.
Thank you
