HtmlEncode

[Peter K]

Hi

in an application I am writing I have to process some text files which
contain various data. Some of this data are text strings which have been
encoded with HtmlEncode (I think it is HttpServerUtility.HtmlEncode which
has been used).

How do I decode this encoded text to something more human-readable? I don't
have access to any "Http" as I am not running in a web context.

Thanks,
Peter

You can still use HttpServerUtility - just add a reference to the
System.Web assembly.
