PHP has a great function called htmlspecialcharacters() where you pass it a string and it replaces all of HTML's special characters with their safe equivalents, it's almost a one stop shop for sanitizing input. Very nice right?
Well is there an equivalent in any of the .NET libraries?
If not, can anyone link to any code samples or libraries that do this well?

Description. The htmlspecialchars() function is used to converts special characters ( e.g. & (ampersand), " (double quote), ' (single quote), < (less than), > (greater than)) to HTML entities ( i.e. & (ampersand) becomes &, ' (single quote) becomes ', < (less than) becomes < (greater than) becomes > ).
Difference between htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() function: The only difference between these function is that htmlspecialchars() function convert the special characters to HTML entities whereas htmlentities() function convert all applicable characters to HTML entities.
' is the HTML character coding for an apostrophe ('), so if you see “don't” or “can't” this means that the words “don't” or “can't” are being represented by ecards.
Try this.
var encodedHtml = HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlEncode(...);
System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(string)
