How to unescape HTML string

[Sebastian Mark]

I have a simple question, is there an easy way in .NET
to unescape HTML characters?
for example I have a string

"Siebel Analytics Sr Consultant-"Partner w/ Deloitte & have
the oppty to become a Partner""

and I want to have

"Siebel Analytics Sr Consultant- Partner w/ Deloitte & have the oppty to
become a Partner"

Thank You

Try 'HttpUtility.HtmlDecode'.

Try 'HttpUtility.HtmlDecode'.

Is there a specification somewhere of exactly what HtmlDecode does? The
documentatation is vague and cites some examples (space, lt, gt). I would
like to know exactly what it does.

Probably, but I couldn't find it, so I just got Reflector to tell me
what HtmlEncode does:

- characters after > are encoded to
- " < > & are encoded to &quot; &lt; &gt; &amp; respectively
- that seems to be it
