Encode Decode URL Tool
I was testing something that in turn generated encoded URL strings so I wanted a quick way to decode them into their respective URL format along with properly formatted characters. As an example, instead of seeing a %2F in the URL I wanted to see the actual forward slash ‘/’ that it represented. In C Sharp I recall the HttpUtility.UrlEncode and HttpUtility.UrlDecode so made this app to do what I needed.
Example, take this URL:
http%3a%2f%2fwww.mysite.com%2fgohere%2fmyresources%2fmyarticles%2fhow-to-build-a-better-mousetrap%2f%3futm_blahblah%3dmyarticles%26utm_medium%3dsomethingelse
Generate this URL:
http://www.mysite.com/gohere/myresources/myarticles/how-to-build-a-better-mousetrap/?utm_blahblah=myarticles
I hope someone else finds it as useful a tool. The .cs file is also included in the ZIP file below.
