Hi,

I'm writing a console application that will be running as a scheduled
application, that basically sends out nag email messages to users of a web
application on a daily basis. It's going great so far, but I ran into a
problem that I can't figure out.

I need to use the UrlEncode method, that is usually available under ASP .Net
using Server.UrlEncode("text") , but when I try and use it in my console
application, after adding a reference to System.Web, and trying to create an
instance of the System.Web.HttpServerUtility class, which contains the
UrlEncode method, I get an error that Overload resolution failed because no
'New' is accessible. Normally, ASP .Net instantiates this as one of it's
intrinsic objects.

Anyone know if there is a way to use this method in a non ASP .Net
application, or if there is a different place with a similar method? I am
stumped at the moment. Thanks!

Hello, AspDotNetDvlpr!

There is no need creating instance, use static methods

HttpUtility.UrlEncode/HttpUtility.UrlDecode

That did the trick Vadym, you are a great help, thank you!
