HttpUtility.HtmlDecode in WinRT

Question

Is there an equivalent to HttpUtility.HtmlDecode in WinRT? I'm developing a MetroStyle app and want to decode strings that came from a XML doc.

I'm using the method I posted here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8300986/downloading-webpages-in-winrt-throws-an-exception — Alireza Noori, Dec 01 '11 at 13:18
Does metro not support the classes under `System.Xml`? (although, of course, if it's not really XML, but HTML you might want to look at the HTML Agility Pack) — Rowland Shaw, Dec 01 '11 at 14:02

Use System.Net.WebUtility instead

Is it available for WinRT? I can't check myself at the moment. – Alireza Noori May 16 '12 at 01:34

According to this answer from a Microsoft employee, there's currently no replacement for HtmlDecode in the WinRT that's included in the Windows 8 Developer Preview.

However, there will be a replacement in the next pre-release version of WinRT.
