Decode URL string in C# (not ASP.Net)

Hi, I'm writing a program in C# 2.0 and I enable people to drag and drop a file link from the browser to my program and my program downloads the file. The problem is that the file URL string is encoded (ie some characters are encoded to %num). I want to decode this chars to normal chars.
In ASP I saw there is an option to do it, but on regular program I couldn't find how to do it.

string s = "%49%20%64%6F%6E%27%74%20%6B%6E%6F%77%20%77%68";
s += "%6F%20%69%73%20%6D%6F%72%65%20%69%67%6E%6F%72%61%6E";
s += "%74%20%2D%20%47%65%6F%72%67%65%20%42%75%73%68%20%6F";
s += "%72%20%68%69%73%20%73%75%70%70%6F%72%74%65%72%73%3F";
s += "%20%46%75%63%6B%20%69%6E%62%72%65%64%20%52%65%64%20";
s += "%53%74%61%74%65%20%52%65%64%6E%65%63%6B%73%21%21%21";
s += "%20%57%68%65%72%65%20%68%61%76%65%20%79%6F%75%20%67";
s += "%6F%6E%65%2C%20%4C%65%65%20%48%61%72%76%65%79%20%4F";
s += "%73%77%61%6C%64%3F%3F%3F%20%41%20%6E%61%74%69%6F%6E";
s += "%20%74%75%72%6E%73%20%69%74%73%20%6C%6F%6E%65%6C%79";
s += "%20%65%79%65%73%20%74%6F%20%79%6F%75%21%20%57%6F%6F";
s += "%2D%77%6F%6F%2D%77%6F%6F%21";
MessageBox.Show(Uri.UnescapeDataString(s));
