I am trying to write a windows client application that calls a web site for data. To keep the install to a minimum I am trying only use dlls in the .NET Framework Client Profile. Trouble is that I need to UrlEncode some parameters, is there an easy way to do this without importing System.Web.dll which is not part of the Client Pofile?

c# .net urlencode .net-client-profile

Here's an example of sending a POST request that properly encodes parameters using application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type:

using (var client = new WebClient())
{
    var values = new NameValueCollection
    {
        { "param1", "value1" },
        { "param2", "value2" },
    };
    var result = client.UploadValues("http://foo.com", values);
}
