Accented urls in c# to create xml? (Exception occured while inserting entry)

I am trying to build some xml files with c#, the following is where i do get a problem :

      StringBuilder tmp = new StringBuilder ();

      tmp.Append ("<link>");
      tmp.Append ("<url>").Append (link).Append ("</url>");
      tmp.Append ("<hash>").Append ((link).Content.StringValue.ToUpper ()).Append ("</hash>");
      tmp.Append ("</link>");

when the link doesn't have some special characters like "é" it works fine, but for a link like "fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Été" i get this error :

Exception occured while inserting entry: XML parsing: line 1, character 218, illegal xml character

Thanks

Accented characters aren't legal in URIs: tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2

You should use System.Uri.EscapeUriString:

EscapeUriString((link).Content.StringValue.ToUpper())
