how to replace url parameter c#

Question

https://www.stote.it/bais/%ID%

I have a URL like the above and a method that takes key. I want to replace ID with key and make a get request. I can make the get request if I manually replace ID with a value, but I want to do it in code. Any help?

private String getEmailTemplate(string key)
{
    string html = string.Empty;

    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
    using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
    using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
    {
        html = reader.ReadToEnd();
    }

    return html;

will give it a try and get back thanks anyway for the prompt response — suulisin

If url is arbitrary, make it https://www.stote.it/bais/{0} and use String.Format(url, key).

This way if you ever add more arguments, there is no complicated string replacement.
