does not exist in the current context

[J]

I'm trying to use HttpUtility.UrlEncode method but I get this error "The
name 'HttpUtility' does not exist in the current context". After adding
"using System.Web", then typing in System.Web., IntelliSense just shows 3
methods available (AspNetHostingPermission,AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute,
and AspNetHostingPermissionLevel) but no HttpUtility. What's up?

Thx,
-j

Code snip:

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
using System.Web;

namespace XYZtest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
PostInfo();
}
private static void PostInfo()
{
string postData="UID=me";
postData += ("&PWD=mypassword");
postData += ("&DATA=mydata");
postData = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(postData));

Did you add a reference to System.Web.dll to your project? That is more
important than a "using" clause, as that is no more than a "type
saving" device (meaning: less to type in).

Thanks for clearing that up for this newbie.
