Remarks
If the validation feature is enabled by page directive or configuration, this method is called during the Page's ProcessRequest processing phase. ValidateInput can be called by your code if the validation feature is not enabled. Request validation works by checking all input data against a hard-coded list of potentially dangerous data.
QueryString, Form, and Cookies input data is checked during request validation.
