Hello Experts,
If the contents of a text box containing a html tag like formmated
characters, i.e. <hello>, and if the validateRequest is set to true, it
gives an error when post back: A potentially dangerous Request.Form
value was detected from the client. Just wondering what are the
drawbacks if the validateRequest is set to true? Under what situations
should the validateRequest set to true or false?
Thanks,
Benny

Setting validateRequest to true will incur additional processing for
each request. However, I think this cost is minimal considering that
it will reduce the risk of your web application from attacks such as
cross-site scripting and SQL Server injection. I think this feature
should always be turned on for all types of web application.
In ASP.NET 1.0, we had to write code to perform these types of
validations manually, so it is nice to see that ASP.NET 1.1 has this
feature build in.

Hi,
Is there a way to programmatically set the validateRequest attribute of a
Page? What I would like to do is check the version of the framework and add
validateRequest = False if I'm running on .Net 1.1

Hi,
I have a web form containing a TextBox that allows users to edit XML files.
When the page is posted, the changes are saved. This worked fine until the
ValidateRequest 'feature' came along in .Net 1.1
Now, I've been told that it can be disabled using the 'ValidateRequest'
attribute (of Page). This works on 1.1 and is fine since I always encode and
check my strings manually to ensure no malicious script can be submitted.

I have a specific page that I have chosen to disable the .NET 1.1 validateRequest options by setting the page directive attribute of "validateRequest" from true to false. I manually validate all controls within this page. This page includes a UserControl which contains a textbox. It appears that the validateRequest attribute is not propagated to the usercontrol when the page is processed. This results in the standard "potentially dangerous"...

Hi,
I have one textbox on the form that needs to have ValidateRequest disabled,

assuming I have to disable it at for the whole page, how can I invoke

looking for some kind of method on I can call that says "validate this

Hi
I'm using .net 2.0.
I am receiving a http post that is sent httpUtility.urlencode(doc.Outerxml).
Everything works fine and I can receive the post and parse it, but I need to
set validaterequest="false" or the other side can't post to my side.
Is setting validaterequest="false" the right way to go?
Thanks,

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
