Doing post - the second time throws an exception

M

Mr. X.

Hello.
I am using VS 2008 for asp.net application.

after pressing the button once - everything is OK,
but whe pressing the button twice, I got an exception :
----------------------------------------------------------------
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
(main_text="<div dir="rtl" align...").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client
input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may
indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as
a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting
validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section.
However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check
all inputs in this case.

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially
dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (main_text="<div
dir="rtl" align...").

Source Error:


The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be
shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the
below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated
the error. Example:

<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your
application:

<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given
application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause
only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a
memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has
debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.
