regarding validate request property

Question

hi,what are the possible benifits of using ValidateRequest request to set false in asp.net page.bcz i m going to use it.........

Answer 1

The "benefit" is that you have more control over the input validation. If ValidateRequest = true and the input has invalid characters then an ugly error page is showed to the user.

Although a little old, here you have a MSDN post about "Prevent Cross-Site Scripting in ASP.NET"
