Escape characters in URL in vb.net

Hi,
I've got a url that looks like that :

http://www.myurl.net/Drops 10% - News.doc

Obviously to be properly interpreted by browsers, special characters
should be converted (% -%25 and spaces to %20)

Unfortunately I can't seem to find the right function in vb.net to do
that.... I've tried Server.UrlEncode which converts to a lot of crap,
and HttpUtility.UrlEncode which doesn't do it properly either...

Anyone knows how to do that ? Can't be that hard :(

Thanks
