Decode escaped Url without using HttpUtility.UrlDecode
.net, url
Solution
EDIT: Use the static method `Uri.UnescapeDataString()` to decode your URLs:
Encoded: `http%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%2fsearch%3fhl%3den%26q%3dsomething%20%2323%26btnG%3dGoogle%2bSearch%26aq%3df%26oq%3d`
Decoded: `http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=something #23&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=`
Problem
Is there any function that converts an escaped Url string to its unescaped form? `System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode()` can do that job but I don't want to add a reference to `System.Web.dll`. Since my app is not a web application, I don't want to add a dependency for only using a function in an assembly. UPDATE: Check Rick Strahl's blog post about the same issue.
