HttpUtility.UrlEncodeToBytes Method

Definition

Converts a string or a byte array into an encoded array of bytes.

To encode or decode values outside of a web application, use the WebUtility class.

Overloads

UrlEncodeToBytes(Byte[])

Converts an array of bytes into a URL-encoded array of bytes.

UrlEncodeToBytes(String)

Converts a string into a URL-encoded array of bytes.

UrlEncodeToBytes(String, Encoding)

Converts a string into a URL-encoded array of bytes using the specified encoding object.

UrlEncodeToBytes(Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Converts an array of bytes into a URL-encoded array of bytes, starting at the specified position in the array and continuing for the specified number of bytes.

UrlEncodeToBytes(Byte[])

Converts an array of bytes into a URL-encoded array of bytes.

public:
 static cli::array <System::Byte> ^ UrlEncodeToBytes(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ bytes);
public static byte[]? UrlEncodeToBytes (byte[]? bytes);
public static byte[] UrlEncodeToBytes (byte[] bytes);
static member UrlEncodeToBytes : byte[] -> byte[]
Public Shared Function UrlEncodeToBytes (bytes As Byte()) As Byte()

Parameters

bytes
Byte[]

The array of bytes to encode.

Returns

Byte[]

An encoded array of bytes.

Remarks

If characters such as blanks and punctuation are passed in an HTTP stream, they might be misinterpreted at the receiving end. URL encoding converts characters that are not allowed in a URL into character-entity equivalents; URL decoding reverses the encoding. For example, when embedded in a block of text to be transmitted in a URL, the characters < and > are encoded as %3c and %3e.

To encode or decode values outside of a web application, use the WebUtility class.
