Call HttpUtility from within Azure Functions

Question

I am trying to make a REST call from within Azure Functions. For these lines of code:

var client = new HttpClient();
var queryString = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(string.Empty);

I get the following error.

The name 'HttpUtility' does not exist in the current context

I am using the web interface in Azure.com.

You are probably missing a proper reference to System.Web:

#r "System.Web"
using System.Web;

See Referencing External Assemblies.

Thanks for quick reply, I have the proper references. This post, stackoverflow.com/questions/2405182/… is close, but I do not know how to specify the full framework in Azure Functions.

Function App always targets full framework... I have your code compiling successfully in my function...

Thanks @Mikhail, can you explain the #r "System.Web" or link to some documentation
