Refer this link

Server.HTMLEncode Method [msdn][^]

It states that:

Quote:
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.

when i use https i will ensure that the data of my web application will still safe when it transfer in the network so the harmful data can not come when the data transfer
the second way to harmful come to my web application it by input fields
when i use validation input i will override the harmful data
this is right or not ?!
