What is the difference between validateRequest (which validates form and querystring values) and also enableeventvalidation, which works on post/call backs? In specific, what confuses me is that validateRequest can only be possible by a postback as this is how form values etc will be picked up?
View 1 RepliesWhat is the difference between enableEventValidation and validateRequest? Although the former is on postback/callback caused by a control (Server side only I assume?, the latter is on every request, which is caused by a control posting back anyway? Or would validateRequest kick in by a standard html link being clicked?

I have few dropsdowns and a button in a page. When i click on that button , i get above exception. What is the best way to fix this exception? I dont want to set enableEventValidation to false in config or at page directive.

If I change if (!IsPostBack) GridView1.DataBind(); to GridView1.DataBind(); and try to put GridView into Edit mode by clicking btnEdit, then I get the exception: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation. But if I set EnableEventValidation to false, then GridView1 won't enter edit mode ( ie - GridView1_RowEditing doesn't get called ). BTW - same problem also occurs with other databound controls ( DataList, DetailsView ) Page. EnableEventValidation gets or sets a value indicating whether the page validates postback and callback events. When the ableEventValidation property is set to true, ASP.NET validates that a control event originated from the user interface that was rendered by that control. A control registers its events during rendering and then validates the events during postback or callback handling.
a) Why must postback and callback events be evaluated? and how exactly does evaluation happen?
b) Why would calling GridView1.Databind() on each postback cause exception when trying to put it into edit mode?
c) I also don't see any reasons why disabling EnableEventValidation prevents GridView from entering edit mode?! Thus why did.
I have a cascade dropdownlist that is populated by client side using jquery and Ajax. The values of dropdown are read from database using Ajax. I get enableEventValidation error when post back occurs. One of my options is to use the page directive ableEventValidation="false". but I don't want to do it. so what's the soloution

I think that I am confuse here. Now I am using WebParts as they being used on 2.0 framework (like they are using on TheBeerHouse kit)
But in most of the forums they talk about SharePoint. Does sharepoint means webparts as I know them, or this is a new version of the webparts?

It happens in all of my pages so im thinking it could be something that is placed in my master page. Below is the code from my master page (I know its probably awful use of code but im new and learning)

I have aproblem that when i add some special character in the textbox and submit the page it give error. A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtname="<test>"). I found the solution of this porblem by ValidateRequest="false". But if i do this then the request will not be validate and then attacks probablity will be increase. what should i do to for this whithout using ValidateRequest attribute.

View 4 RepliesI'm using FreeTextBox HTML editor in some webforms in my asp.net project . if I do not set ValidateRequest property to false I get this error :
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
It's OK in admin folder though , Because only authorized users have access to work with it . But how about public pages like sections where every users have access to leave comments(using FreeTextBox for collecting users comment ) ? Isn't risky for XSS Attack ? If the answer is not Yes , So what's ValidateRequest property for?
My ASP.NET page contains "ValidateRequest = true". However, there is one textbox in the page for which I don't want ASP.NET to validate. Is there a way to make it false for that one control? If there isn't, is there a way to ignore the "Potential Threat" error, assuming it comes from that particular control?

View 2 RepliesI've got a ajax page with 2 panels on it. On Panel1 there is a next button. On that panel there is a pref. button and a next button. But if i put the pref. button he should do an action, but thats not possible because there are requestedfieldvalidators on that page. So i need to fill the page first, and then i can go back.
But on the next i want the validators. How can i make this possible?
FYI I am using .NET 4.0 / MVC 3. In my controller, the following is my code:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ViewResult Edit(ContentTemplateView contentTemplateView, FormCollection collection)
Everything works fine when I don't enter HTML, so I know the proper controller is being fired. Also, I have following set properly in my web.config files:
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0"/>
I only get this problem when I include the FormCollection (which is needed for this particular Controller). So what exactly am I doing wrong? [I have done what was proposed on the following questions, and they work as long as there is no FormCollection. None of them offer a solution with an included FormCollection] Why is ValidateInput(False) not working?

Here's the situation. I have an aspx page that is designed to receive a POST request with some XML values, parse the XML, grab the relevant items, and write them to the page. The problem arises when I try to launch the page using the POST request. When I launch using Fiddler, building the request manually and just pasting the XML in the body of the request everything works fine and dandy. When I launch the page from a basic HTML form, however, things don't go so great. The HTML form that I'm using looks like this:

When the page loads I get the error:
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client Everything I've read so far has told me that the solution is to add ValidateRequest="false" to the page directive in the top of the .aspx file, or in the pages element of the web.config file. But neither of these work. Afterwards, I still get the same error. Any idea what I need to do to make this work?
Is it possible to send a html text entered in asp.net text box without making validaterequest to false.
View 1 RepliesI just updated my project to ASP.NET 4. All of a sudden, some of my HttpHandlers are giving ValidateRequest errors. This is because the user HAS to be able to put an XML string in the querystring.I know how to disable ValidateRequest on a page, but how do I do it on an HTTPHandler?
View 1 RepliesI have an app that was originally running fine in ASP.Net 3.5, using the ValidateRequest set to false to allow HTML to be saved from a rich text box. However, after converting the app to 4.0, I am getting the Potentially Dangerous message, even though both the page and web.config have the value set to false.
I went into the page and created a PagesSection object and checked its value and then set the value to false. Everytime the page is hit (postback or new) the value is always returned as true, until I set it to false. Not sure why it is reverting to true.
In my opinion, these architectures have some differences, such as:
1. 3-layer is a linear architecture, but MVC is a triangle architecture.
2. Presentation Layer of 3-layer includes View and Controller of MVC? And Model of MVC includes Business Layer and Data Access Layer of 3-layer
I think 2 differences above are not obvious or are incorrect!
Are there any major differences between the ASP.NET Cache Class from ASP.NET 3.5 to 4.0?
