say I want to escape C# string: @"http://somesite.com/?arg=value&foo=bar"
HtmlEncode does:
http://somesite.com/?arg=value&foo=bar
JavaScript escape is:
http:\x2F\x2Fsomesite.com\x2F?arg=value\&foo=bar

javascript -> c#

escape -> have no c# analogue?

encodeURI -> Uri.EscapeUriString

encodeURIComponent -> HttpUtility.UrlEncode or Uri.EscapeDataString

According to http://xkr.us/articles/javascript/encode-compare/
you should avoid use of escape() whenever possible. The best alternative is usually encodeURIComponent()

Also note that HttpUtility.HtmlEncode encodes html-entities & -> &, > -> > and other
