use UrlEncode in windows application 1

[harmmeijer]

I need to urlEncode and urldecode (escape and unescape in javascript) some strings.

Problem is that the methods used in .net (UrlEncode UrlDecode) are methods of the HttpServerUtility.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...lrfsystemwebhttpserverutilitymemberstopic.asp

I don't have an instance of HttpServerUtility in a windows application.

Examples of these methods all assume that your project is a asp.net app.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...emwebhttpserverutilityclassurlencodetopic.asp

Is this a logical mistake of MS assuming that you only need to encode to URL and URL decode in an asp.net app?
Does anyone know how can I use these functions in a windows application?

yes, you can use this, using the following code

System.Web.httputility.urlencode("test")

however you must have created a reference to system.web in your project, just importing it will not work.

hope this helps

You are correct, I thought it generated an error (something like have to create an instance ...).

Must have been my sloppy way of working because when I try it now I don't get an error.

Thanks
