Encoding\Escaping special characters in Silverlight

I spend almost half an hour to find how to do encoding\escaping special characters in SL. Started with SecurityElement to HttpUtility etc but none were available in SL. Well as it is with google, if you ask correctly you would be rewarded. Turns out that there is a class in System.Windows.Browser assembly for SL that contains HttpUtility class. Checkout here

Anyhow, Happy Coding.

In case the network is down and the image is neither there in cache, loads a default image, passed as parameter to converter. Here is the gist for the implementation. To use the converter Import the name space. Declare the converter as resource. Set the Image Source Property to use this converter like this
