URL encoding ensures that all browsers will correctly transmit text in URL strings. Characters such as a question mark (?), ampersand (&), slash mark (/), and spaces might be truncated or corrupted by some browsers. As a result, these characters must be encoded in <a> tags or in query strings where the strings can be re-sent by a browser in a request string.

HtmlDecode decodes text that has been transmitted to the server.

HtmlDecode is a convenient way to access the System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode method at run time from an ASP.NET application. Internally, HtmlDecode uses System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode to decode strings.

The following example contains the function LoadDecodedFile, which decodes the data from a file and copies it into one string.
