If you are using C#3 a good tip is to create an extension method to make this even simpler. Just create a static method (preferably in a static class) like so:

public static class Extensions
{
    public static string HtmlEncode(this string s)
    {
        return HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(s);
    }
}

You can then do neat stuff like this:

string encoded = "
I need encoding
".HtmlEncode();
