I'm working on a project in C#.Net 4.0. I am trying to use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode. To do so, I added
using System.Web;
to the top of the file. However, no reference to HttpUtility could be found.
After Googling around a little bit I found that the common answer to this question was to add a reference to System.Web.dll by finding it in the list presented by right-clicking on References in the Solution Explorer and clicking "Add Reference...". Unfortunately, this was not in the list. I found System.Web.Services and System.Web.ApplicationServices, but no System.Web, and neither contained what we needed.
Any help appreciated.

In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of the project to add the Web service to and then click Add Web Reference. The Add Web Reference dialog box is displayed. In the URL box, enter the URL of the Web service to use. If you do not know the URL, use the links in the browse pane to locate the Web service you want.
The best way to get a look under the hood is to create a project and open the References folder. Inside, you'll see all the default libraries, including SYSTEM. WEB. If you right-click a DLL, you can choose "View In Object Browser", which will then open the DLL so you can explore all the stuff inside.
My crystal ball says you are using VS2010. Project + Properties, Application tab, Target framework setting. Change it from the client profile to the regular version.
System.Web is not included in the client profile, that's why you can't find it. Don't worry about the difference, the client profile is only 15% smaller than the regular version. There's very little point to it.
