Trying to Use HttpUtility Methods

[Wayne Wengert]

I am trying to use the HttpUtility methods shown below in a Windows Form. I
cannot get Intellisense to accept the code - I've used Imports System.Web
and I also tried adding the specific name space qualifiers with the same
results? I am wondering if there is some restriction on using this in a
Windows Form?
==============================
Public Sub StartDefaultMail( _

ByVal [To] As String, _

Optional ByVal Subject As String = "", _

Optional ByVal Message As String = "" _

)

Try

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo

psi.UseShellExecute = True

psi.FileName = _

"mailto:" & System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode([To]) & _

"?subject=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Subject) & _

"&body=" & HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Message)

Process.Start(psi)

Catch ex As Exception

Throw _

New Exception( _

"Default mail client could not be started.", _

ex _

)

End Try

End Sub

Nope. No restrictions. Did you also add a reference to System.Web.dll?

Patrick

I had not added the dll reference - that took care of it. Thanks
