How to create a [Reusable] Function in [VB.NET]
Creating a reusable function lets you use it anywhere in your code project.
I first created an identical function for ASP Classic and needed something similar in ASP.NET.
[ASP.NET - Encoding Function]
CFFCS | CarrzSynEdit: | ASP.NET (VB/C#) 

    ' Encode (Change Characters)
    Function Encoding(strEncoding As String) As String
        strEncoding = Replace(strEncoding, ")", "}")
        strEncoding = Replace(strEncoding, "(", "{")
        strEncoding = Replace(strEncoding, " ", " ")
        Encoding = strEncoding
    End Function

    ' Decode (Change Characters back to their original Characters.)
    Function Decoding(strEncoding As String) As String
        strEncoding = Replace(strEncoding, "}", ")")
        strEncoding = Replace(strEncoding, "{", "(")
        strEncoding = Replace(strEncoding, " ", " ")
        Decoding = strEncoding
    End Function

To use in your ASP.NET VB project, simply copy the above code and paste it into your project, replacing only the string characters you need to replace in your project.
To reuse this function, do the following
[ASP.NET - Page Load]
CFFCS | CarrzSynEdit: | ASP.NET (VB/C#) 

    Sub Page Load(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Response.Write(Encoding("Test (This is a test)"))
        Response.Write(Decoding("Test {This is a test}"))
    End Sub

The above example will
  1. Replace the Parentheses with {[curly brackets]} and add underscores where spaces are at.Output: Test {This is a test}
    Copy
    Search Site
    Search Google
  2. Replace the {[curly brackets]} with Parentheses and remove the underscores.Output: Test (This is a test);
    Copy
    Search Site
    Search Google
