Property Value

Request validation is performed by comparing all input data to a list of potentially dangerous values. If a match occurs, ASP.NET raises an HttpRequestValidationException.

Example

The following code example shows how to use the ValidateRequest property.

Console.WriteLine( _
    "Current ValidateRequest value: '{0}'", _
    pagesSection.ValidateRequest)

' Set the ValidateRequest property to true.
pagesSection.ValidateRequest = True
C#
