how to decode a url in vb.net

Question

This line says server is not declared.

Dim DecodedString As String = server.UrlDecode(context.Request.Form(\"DeckName\"))

I have imports system

Answer 1

Imports System.Net

Dim DecodedString As String = WebUtility.UrlDecode(context.Request.Form("DeckName"))

This should work for vb.net. I tried the HttpUtility but it doesn't recognize even i imported System.Web.

Answer 2

This is old and K3N already provided a great answer.. but I believe the 's' in 'server' should be capitalized in your code. That may have been the issue.

Answer 3

Use HttpUtility instead.

Dim decodedUrl As String = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(encodedUrl)
