Replace HTML character entities in a string

Question

I would like to take a string containing HTML character entities such as  , etc. and replace them with the literal string characters. Does C# come with a library that has all the HTML character entities in which I could use to parse/replace characters in my strings?

List of HTML character entities: Wikipedia

This question is similar to: C#, function to replace all html special characters with normal text characters. Marking as a dupe. — ruffin

You can try using the HtmlDecode method of the HttpUtility class.

If you are using .Net framework 4+ you may prefer WebUtility.HtmlDecode

".NET", not ".Net".
