% signs in a Twitter post using Tweetsharp causes 401 Unauthorized

Question

I have a simple piece of code that sends out a Tweet. Keeping the message with the % signs in it causes a 401 Unauthorized error:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var test = new TwitterService("ConsumerKey", "ConsumerSecret", "Token", "TokenSecret");

        try
        {
            // "Test 1, So, I know there's no #inflation and so on...but the 10y inflation swap just went to 2.80%. 5y CPI 5y forward is 3.15%. Hmmm."
            test.SendTweet(WebUtility.HtmlEncode("Test 3, So, I know there's no #inflation and so on...but the 10y inflation swap just went to 2.80%. 5y CPI 5y forward is 3.15. Hmmm."));
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            if (ex.Message.Equals(""))
            {

            }
        }
    }
}

If I send the same message through TweetDeck or directly using the Twitter page, it posts with no problems. Any ideas?

Sounds to me like you need to HTML encode the information before sending it. — bdrelling, Feb 05 '13 at 16:12

Looks like you have to use a % instead of the regular % sign.
