PagesSection.ValidateRequest Property

.NET Framework 4.5

Gets or sets a value that determines whether ASP.NET examines input from the browser for dangerous values. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Syntax

C++

[ConfigurationPropertyAttribute("validateRequest", DefaultValue = true)]

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if ASP.NET examines input from the browser for dangerous values; otherwise, false. The default value is true.

Remarks

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.

Examples
