The following example demonstrates how to use the HtmlEncode method and the UrlEncode method of the HttpServerUtility class. The HtmlEncode method helps ensure that any user-supplied string input will be rendered as static text in browsers instead of executable script or HTML elements. The UrlEncode method encodes URLs so that they are correctly transmitted in the HTTP stream.

Remarks

The methods and properties of the HttpServerUtility class are exposed through the intrinsic Server object provided by ASP.NET.

Properties

MachineName	Gets the server's computer name.
ScriptTimeout	Gets or sets the request time-out value in seconds.

Methods

ClearError()	Clears the previous exception.
CreateObject(String)	Creates a server instance of a COM object identified by the object's programmatic identifier (ProgID).
CreateObject(Type)	Creates a server instance of a COM object identified by the object's type.
CreateObjectFromClsid(String)	Creates a server instance of a COM object identified by the object's class identifier (CLSID).
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
Execute(IHttpHandler, TextWriter, Boolean)	Executes the handler for the specified virtual path in the context of the current request. A TextWriter captures output from the executed handler and a Boolean parameter specifies whether to clear the QueryString and Form collections.
Execute(String, Boolean)	Executes the handler for the specified virtual path in the context of the current request and specifies whether to clear the QueryString and Form collections.
Execute(String, TextWriter, Boolean)	Executes the handler for the specified virtual path in the context of the current request. A TextWriter captures output from the page and a Boolean parameter specifies whether to clear the QueryString and Form collections.
Execute(String, TextWriter)	Executes the handler for the specified virtual path in the context of the current request. A TextWriter captures output from the executed handler.
Execute(String)	Executes the handler for the specified virtual path in the context of the current request.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetLastError()	Returns the previous exception.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
HtmlDecode(String, TextWriter)	Decodes an HTML-encoded string and sends the resulting output to a TextWriter output stream.
HtmlDecode(String)	Decodes an HTML-encoded string and returns the decoded string.
HtmlEncode(String, TextWriter)	HTML-encodes a string and sends the resulting output to a TextWriter output stream.
HtmlEncode(String)	HTML-encodes a string and returns the encoded string.
MapPath(String)	Returns the physical file path that corresponds to the specified virtual path.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
Transfer(IHttpHandler, Boolean)	Terminates execution of the current page and starts execution of a new request by using a custom HTTP handler that implements the IHttpHandler interface and specifies whether to clear the QueryString and Form collections.
Transfer(String, Boolean)	Terminates execution of the current page and starts execution of a new page by using the specified URL path of the page. Specifies whether to clear the QueryString and Form collections.
Transfer(String)	For the current request, terminates execution of the current page and starts execution of a new page by using the specified URL path of the page.
TransferRequest(String, Boolean, String, NameValueCollection, Boolean)	Performs an asynchronous execution of the specified URL using the specified HTTP method, headers, and path, and optionally preserves form values and the user identity.
TransferRequest(String, Boolean, String, NameValueCollection)	Performs an asynchronous execution of the specified URL using the specified HTTP method and headers.
TransferRequest(String, Boolean)	Performs an asynchronous execution of the specified URL and preserves query string parameters.
TransferRequest(String)	Performs an asynchronous execution of the specified URL.
UrlDecode(String, TextWriter)	Decodes an HTML string received in a URL and sends the resulting output to a TextWriter output stream.
UrlDecode(String)	URL-decodes a string and returns the decoded string.
UrlEncode(String, TextWriter)	URL-encodes a string and sends the resulting output to a TextWriter output stream.
UrlEncode(String)	URL-encodes a string and returns the encoded string.
UrlPathEncode(String)	Do not use; intended only for browser compatibility. Use UrlEncode(String).
UrlTokenDecode(String)	Decodes a URL string token to its equivalent byte array using base 64 digits.
UrlTokenEncode(Byte[])	Encodes a byte array into its equivalent string representation using base 64 digits, which is usable for transmission on the URL.
