Message: [QUOTE="Steve Richter, post: 2947465"] getting this "potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected" exception with a textbox which I have populated with some source code. I think I am getting the exception when I click OK on the web page, but that is one of my question, so I am not sure ;) I am reading how to disable request validation, [URL]http://www.asp.net/faq/RequestValidation.aspx#5[/URL] but I dont want to do that. I would rather catch the exception. But I guess that is not workable because at the time the validation exception is thrown, the individual control with the invalid data is not yet know. correct? should I Server.HtmlEncode the data I put in the textbox before posting to the browser? If I do that the data will display in encoded form ( correct? ) and I dont want that. how do I accept textbox input from a form that fails RequestValidation without disabling that validation? thanks, -Steve [/QUOTE]
