What is the difference between HttpUtility.HtmlEncode
and Server.HTMLEncode
?
The HTMLEncode method applies HTML encoding to a specified string. This is useful as a quick method of encoding form data and other client request data before using it in your Web application. Encoding data converts potentially unsafe characters to their HTML-encoded equivalent.
This is a useful class. It provides methods (HtmlEncode and HtmlDecode) that manipulate HTML strings. Other methods support URL encoding.
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
.
