Hello,

I have copied and paste the following sample code from VS.Net MSDN sample
code:
But i can not compile it . I'm getting the following error :

....\ConsoleApplication1\Class1.cs(68): The type or namespace name
'HttpUtility' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System.Web' (are you
missing an assembly reference?)

HttpUtility' belongs to the namespace System.web according to the doc.

So i do not understand why the code can not compile.


Any comment will be appreciated

Add a reference to system.web.dll .
