Use another namespace for HttpUtility

[GoogleCodeExporter]

[Revision 1069] removed dependencies from Full .NET. The revision indroduced a 
"custom" HttpUtility class. It comes from Mono source code. Obviously Mono uses 
the same .NET namespaces.

IMHO it's not a good idea to overwrite framework classes.
In some scenario you cannot use the new dlls. In asp.net you'll get:
The type 'System.Web.HttpUtility' exists in both ....
Details here:
http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/issues/detail?id=429#c12

Proposed solution: use another namespace for the custom HttpUtility

See attached patch file.

Thanks for the patch, I'll give it a go as soon as possible.

Just to clarify, the custom HttpUtility class wasn't added in rev 1069 but it 
has been included since a lot of time ago. That revision only made some 
modifications to it.

Anyway, I agree we should avoid overwriting framework classes.

Has the change been included in current Google.Apis.dll? I still have the same 
conflict issue.

Thanks,
Jun

Yes, the patch was included and is available from both the binary distribution 
and the source repository.
Try doing a checkout of the code 
(http://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/source/checkout) and building the dlls 
yourself

I am experiencing this right now. Trying to put together a G+ project.

FYI, the Google+ API is not GData-based so you should use this other library 
instead:

Good catch, but that is actually the library I am attempting to use right now. 
Still getting that error, which led me here.  The Google.Apis.dll is including 
the System.Web.HttpUtility namespace, which conflicts with anyone trying to use 
it for an ASP.Net website. :(

If your problem is with the other library, please open a new issue in the 
appropriate issue tracker 
(http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/issues/list) and mention 
this discussion there.
