HTMLEncode in Winforms

Question

I have a Winform application in which I check to see if the full file name exists in XML c:\somefolder\my file name.txt.

Unfortunately, XML contains html encoded strings, so c:\somefolder\my file name.txtit becomes c:/somefolder/my%20file%20name.txt(and not a change from backslash to forwardlash and% 20 instead of blankspace).

How to HTMLEncode strings in my winform application?

Answer 1

to try

System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(foo);

you will need to add a link to System.Web.dll

Answer 2

You can also try Uri.EscapeDataString (STRING_HERE) (no link required), works in Asp.net and WinForms.
