How to use HttpServerUtility?

[Guest]

I have a dll file that i am trying to use the Server.Encode function.
so i have added a reference to System.Web;

but when im trying to delcare:
HttpServerUtility mServer = new HttpServerUtility();
return mServer.HtmlEncode(strValue);

i get the following error:
Error The type 'System.Web.HttpServerUtility' has no constructors defined

Is there a list to find what constructors to use? how do you know how to
declare if you dont have any references or examples of this?

The HttpServerUtility.HtmlEncode method is static. It doesn't require an
instance. Just call HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(whatever).

You can access it via System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server, BUT: this
will only work if there really *is* an HttpContext (else Current is
null).

do like the following:

HttpServerUtility Server = HttpContext.Current.Server;

then u can use the Server.HtmlEncode ..... etc methods and functions...
