c# - How to URL encode periods?

Question

I need to URL encode some periods since I have to pass some document path along and it is like this

http://example.com/test.aspx?document=test.docx

So test.docx is causing me an error of an illegal character. So I need to change it to

.  -->  %2E

I tried to use Server.UrlEncode

  string b = Server.UrlEncode("http://example.com/test.aspx?document=test.docx");

but I get

"http%3a%2f%2fexample.com%2ftest.aspx%3fdocument%3dtest.docx"

So do I have to use like a string replace and do it manually and replace all periods with that code?

This is a really old question, but I ran into this searching for a similar problem. I stuck a "/" onto the end of my url's with periods in them and it got around the problem.
