How can I decode HTML characters in C#?

Question

I have email addresses encoded with HTML character entities. Is there anything in .NET that can convert them to plain strings?

Answer 1

Write static a method into some utility class, which accept string as parameter and return the decoded html string.

Include the using System.Web.HttpUtility into your class

public static string HtmlEncode(string text)
    {
        if(text.length > 0){

           return HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(text);
        }else{

         return text;
        }

    }
