ASP.NET Provides built-in request validation on form submission or postback handling. Request validation is on by default, and is handled differently by versions of the framework.

  • Filter "&#"
  • Filter ‘<’ then alphas or ! or / (tags)
  • Filter "script:"

  • Ignore elements named "__VIEWSTATE"

 <%@ Page validateRequest="true|false" %>

For the entire application:
