How to encode html and send via HTTP Post

I am trying send html elements via http post. How safely encode and decode html string? HtmlEncode doesn't help, because it doesn't encode & and it looks as new parameter.

You need to encode the same way you would encode a query string.

string myPostVars = string.Format(
    "myHtml={0}&myInt={1}",
    HttpUtility.UrlEncode("<div>This is my div</div>"),
    90210
);

The safest way to pass anything via POST is to convert it into base64. Try this.

You probably want to URLEncode not HTMLEncode
