C# - Is There A Security Reason To Validate A Textbox Input If You Are Limiting The Max Length Of The Input
Oct 1, 2010
Since I'm new to coding and I'm trying to understand why here is a little more detail on the question.If you have a text box and you are limiting the input to say 2 charactrs do you really need to validate the input further? What I have is a text box that has a max length of 2. Is there a security reason to add a validator to the textbox. I should add this is in Asp.net.

VS2008 c#, asp.net 3.5, ms sql 2008How do I validate user input in TextBox inside a FormView [Insert Mode] with MS SQL 2008 Database?* FormView #fvInsertProjectInfo* TextBox #txtProjectNameCurrently, user could insert a new project using the FormView, but will only be found out that the project is already existed when pressing the INSERT button. To make it more user friendly, I would like to check that the database does not contain a record of the project the user trying to insert (by comparing value in txtProjectName with the Projects table in the database)

I'm trying to update a db record via a business object, based on a users input.
In my button event handler, I check for a null or empty value like this before I set the object properties:
[Code]....
But if the textbox is empty, I get the "System.FormatException:
Input string was not in a correct format." in the line:
[Code]....
How can this be?

I have an input...
<input
id="ratingField"
runat="server"
type="hidden"
/>
this hidden input is used by a star rating control. the user gives a star rating of 1 to 10 by clicking on the stars and some javascript detects which star was clicked and fills the input with the corresponding number.
I want to use a RequiredFieldValidator to ensure that the client has selected a star and if not return an error message to my validation summary.but the validator seems to be throwing an exception. How do I do this?

I'm working on an ASP.NET/C# app.
I have 2 text boxes and I need to validate if the input text for both of them are not both null
ex:
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) && string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text) ) //FAIL!!! else
that is, at least one txtBox has values
I was planning on using a custom validator but it seems that the validation function only gets called when something is written on the textBox i'm using has the 'control to validate'. Now, that doesn't work for me since I want to show an error message when both text boxes are empty. Is there a way to make the validation function to be called with, for example a postback? Or is there any other better approach to this case than the custom validator?

I am always thinking about validation in any kind on the webpage (PHP or ASP, it doesn't matter), but never find a good and accurate answer. For example, a I have some GET-Parameter, which defines a SQL query like DESC oder ASC. (SQL-Injection?) Or I have a comment-function for user, where the data is also saved in a database.
Is it enought to check for HTML-tags inside the data? Should the validation done before adding it to the database or showing it on the page? I am searching for the ToDo's which should be always performed with any data given from "outside".

I would like to program an Input Box that comes up when a user clicks 'Find' button. It asks 'Please enter an employee number'. Then it takes the employee number typed into a text box and searches a dataset for that specific employee record.
I know that it should be server side because the client may not have the proper javascript installed or diabled. Therefore, can someone give me some code to put in code behind that can pop up an input box and use the input after, if this can be done?

I have 1 drop down, 1 text field and 1 command button i.e. "Search". Dropdown contrains following values
Type1
Type2

I have a problem with deserializing in C#/ASP.NET, which gives the exact error:
The input stream is not a valid binary format. The starting contents (in bytes) are: 41-41-45-41-41-41-44-2F-2F-2F-2F-2F-41-51-41-41-41 ...
What I am trying to do
I have a structure with 3 classes. I have a class A which is a base class, and then class B and C which are derived from A.
I am trying to store random types of B and C in the database using LINQ to SQL, in a column with the type VARCHAR(MAX).
I cannot use BINARY as the length is around 15.000.
My code...
[code]...
So the error happends when the first Deserialize method is run, with the above error.

I have a 15 digit string to encrypt.
I have tried using .NET's various encryption functions but all my encrypted strings are at least 24, 28 or 32 in length.
I have heard of CipherMode.CTS with Padding = None that produces the same length output as the input length but I can't seem to get the same result. I have toyed with the block-size, key-size and salt size.
I don't mind adding a digit to my input string to make it 16 in length.

I currently have a TextBox using: <%: Html.TextBox("TextBox1") %> How do I get the value of what is typed into the TextBox as a string so that I can use that string variable throughout my application? The view has he following with the inherits on top of page to model. This page is named "InputNumbersSection":
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Number) %>
and the action:
<%: Html.ActionLink("Get Number!", "DisplayNumbersSection") %>
The Model has this:
public class NumberModels
{
public string Number { get; set; }
}
The controller has the following:
public ActionResult DisplayNumbersSection(NumberModels model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
string TextBoxValue = model.Number;
ViewData["Number"] = TextBoxValue;
}
return View();
}
The ViewData I use in another page to return the number from the textbox typed in the view. When I type somthing into the textbox, I do not see the property getting hit or executed. The "Number" property returns NULL all the time. It almost seems as if it is not picking up what I type into the TextBox
