What is the difference between HttpUtility.HtmlEncode and Server.HtmlEncode

Question

What is the difference between HttpUtility.HtmlEncode and Server.HTMLEncode?

Answer 1

Have a look at Server.HtmlEncode vs HttpUtility.HtmlEncode .

Basically, Server.HtmlEncode uses a specific instance of the System.Web.HttpServerUtility class that's inherited from the Page class. HttpUtility.HtmlEncode is a static method, so you don't have to instantiate the HttpUtility class.

All else being equal, go with the static HttpUtility.HtmlEncode.
