handling validateRequest =true in code behind. is there a workarou

[R Reyes]

is there a way to avoid the validateRequest error page in my code behind
file? i can't seem to find a way to handle the error w/o an error code or
exception being thrown...

i am NOT looking for a link that explains what it does and what it doesn't
do OR the pros/cons, as i've already read through many of those. i just want
to know if i can code some sort of exception to catch for it so that the ugly
yellow/white microsoft generic page doesn't pop up.

there is no error code provided so i am assuming that the only way to avoid
this page is setting validateRequest =false and coding my own validation. i
DO want to use this feature though...is there such a way?

thanks all.

One approach would be to catch the error from the Application_Err or
procedure in your Global.asax file. e.g.:

protected void Application_Err or(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Exception ex = Server.GetLastE rror();
if (ex is HttpRequestVali dationException )
{
// Do one thing.
}
else
{
// Do something else.
}
}

If this isn't a good solution for your purposes, it might help if you could
provide a few details concerning your desired outcome.

HttpRequestVali dationException can not be found. I have tried adding
System.Web and System.Runtime. InteropServices ;

Any idea what I am missing here? Thanks for your help this seems like it
would fix the problem as soon as I can get past this minor problem.

It's in the System.Web namespace, in the System.Web.dll assembly, but it was
only introduced in version 1.1 of the .NET Framework. If you're using
version 1.0, you won't see it, but you shouldn't be seeing request
validation exceptions either...

Hi Nicole,

Definitely have 1.1 installed and "using System.Web" is at the top of the
Global.asax.cs file. HttpRequestVali dationException exception still isn't
found. Am I missing some reference (in the System.Web.dll assembly)? Or am
I referencing something incorrectly? I was assuming the using keyword with
System.Web would take care of the HttpRequestVali dationException not being
found.

These are my namespaces:
using System;
using System.Collecti ons;
using System.Componen tModel;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Sess ionState;

Code for the app error:
protected void Application_Err or(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Here we will catch the HttpRequestVali dationException
Exception ex = Server.GetLastE rror();
if (ex is HttpRequestVali dationException ) {
// Server.Transfer (some page);
}
}

Thanks for the quick replies.

What exactly do you mean by "HttpRequestVal idationExceptio n exception still
isn't found"? Are you receiving a compile-time error? A runtime error?
Something else entirely?

The validate request occurs before the OnInit event of the page, so if
you want to do some sort of catch and continue or special case error
handling you'll need to jump through some hoops:

Sorry if I was unclear, it's a compile time error. Right now, I have to
comment the line out to get my website working.

When uncommented this error appears:
Global.asax.cs( 48): The type or namespace name
'HttpRequestVal idationExceptio n' could not be found (are you missing a using
directive or an assembly reference?)

As from the last post, I have included System.Web, but it does not seem to
have a definition for HttpRequestVali dationException .

Hmm... It really should work if version 1.1 of the framework is being used.
Do you have any versions other than 1.1 installed on your developement
machine? Are you perhaps using VStudio 2002 to edit the project?

Acutally funny you mentioned that...I am using VS.NET to edit the project,
but in the "About..." section it says "Microsoft Development Environment 2002
Version 7.0.9466". It also says Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Version
1.0.3705"

But in the control panel it says that I have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
installed. Or maybe that has nothing to do with which version VS.NET and
ASP.NET is using?

What will I need to reconfig?
