Building a System.Uri with a query string
-
please note: Yes I already posted this in the C# forum ( http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1649&msg=2604582[^] ), but at the suggestion of others said I might have better luck here. I give up, this seems impossible without the UriBuilder class... Well since .NET 1.1 when they made Uri(string, bool) obsolete... So here is my question: How do you build a System.Uri object in .NET compact framework that points to a "file://" scheme with passed query information? I've tried every valid (not obsolete) constructor for System.Uri meaning: * Uri(string) * Uri(string, UriKind) * Uri(base, string) * Uri(Uri, Uri) It didn't matter which I use because they don't have any affect on the outcome... Every constructor will escape the ? to hex as %3F which is not valid to use with query information!!! I can do this fine with strings but if I pass a string to the WebBrowser control it'll convert the string to a Uri object and have the problem again. So I need to build the correct Uri object and pass it to the WebBrowser control. MSDN says the following lie:

Proven by this example:(start a new smart device application and add this code to the form1.cs file)
