Hi,

You can use

C#

// FOR URL ENCODE
string destinationURL = "http://localhost:24882/WebSite2/ProductList/396/Micromax_Ninja_A89";
HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(destinationURL);

// FOR URL DECODE
string url = "localhost:24882/WebSite2/ProductList/396/Micromax%20Ninja%20A89";
HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlDecode(url);

Note : (In url %20 is used for single blank space not for underscore)

One more thing what you actually need, Because In URL rewriting I think(as I used) there is no need for URL Encoding/Decoding as you need...

And one more thing never put answer in your posted question, If you have any query then post comment..

THANKS

Thanks for ur ans and give me ur response about my wrong thing

I know that the %20 is for space.
By doing this can it remove this as i have used global.asax to url rewritting.
let me know url encode and decode is written in which page also.

I think you need URL REWRITING CODE :

// IN GLOBAL.ASAX
void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string CurrentURL_Path = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.ToLower();
string url = CurrentURL_Path.Substring(CurrentURL_Path.LastIndexOf('/')+1);
if (CurrentURL_Path.Contains("mycategory")) // your condition comes here as i used for sample
{
HttpContext MyContext = HttpContext.Current;
MyContext.RewritePath("~/product.aspx?catid=21", false);
}
}

In above example code
www.mywebsite.com/mycategory --->Rewrite to -->www.mywebsite.com/product.aspx/product.aspx?catid=21

i don't want URLRewritting code i have done with that.
My site is an online shopping portal in that
like example
in page mobile.aspx i write this link to move to another page

then written code in global.asax page
routes.MapPageRoute(
"ProductRoute",
"ProductList/{pid}/{pname}",
"~/URLRewriting/ProductDescription.aspx"
);
and thenin productdescription page.
Through this we can convert the url

URLRewriting/ProductDescription.aspx?pid=2&pname=micromax%20ninja%20A285
---->
URLRewritting/ProductList/2/micromax%20ninja%20A285

nowe u can give me ans how to remove %20 symbol

Then whats the problem you can used it where you want to read url..
string url = "URLRewritting/ProductList/2/micromax%20ninja%20A285";
string newurl = HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlDecode(url);
