Any difference in using HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() and Server.HtmlEncode()?

Question

Is there any difference between HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() method and Server.HtmlEncode() method?
If not, what for one method duplicates another?

_Well_, since both method are exist, I think they are different ;) — Soner Gönül, Aug 14 '13 at 12:49

1) They are the same.

2) It's a matter of convenience: Server.HtmlEncode() is readily availalble at runtime from a web page for example whereas HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() is a static method that can be used from anywhere.
