Decoding URL string which has been Encoded in VB.Net...

[PaulRichards]

Hi,
     I am using a webservice method in vb.net (for sending Email) which will be called from flex application. Then say user will receive a mail with link which has been encoded (I am Encoding the URL string using the HttpUtility.UrlEncode method).  Then, I am using the ExternalInterfaceCall for getting the parameters in flex.  Now, my query is - "How to decode that URL string(Encoded) here in my flex application(action script).  Is there any direct method in flex which will decode the URLstring which has been encoded using .Net objects.


Thanks in advance...
Paul.

If the URL is just &name=value pairs you can use the URLVariables object.
There is a decode() method that should do the trick.
