Replace & with &:

Text = "Replace & with &";

You could also make it work for any character, not just &:

string s = "<";
Text = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("Replace " + s +
                              " with " + HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(s));

Use HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("&amp;"); this is always working and the resulting code is more readable.
