Cannot find HttpServerUtility class in System.Web in C #

Question

I am trying to call the HttpServerUtuility.URLDecode function in C # using Visual Studio 2005, but it cannot be found. I am using System.Web correctly, but the class does not seem to exist. Do I need to add any link to my project?

Answer 1

A few points:

• You need a reference to the assembly System.Web
• You need to get the class name correctly ( HttpServerUtility , not HttpServerUtuility )
• You need to get the method name correctly ( UrlDecode , not UrlDecode )
• You need an instance of the class, as this is an instance method

Retrieving an instance is likely to be the hardest part, unless you are in ASP.NET — it does not have any public constructors or a static property to retrieve the instance. Usually you use HttpContext.Server . An alternative is to use HttpUtility.UrlDecode , which is a static method. (Again, you will need a link to System.Web .)

Answer 2

Add a reference to the System.Web assembly.
