    Disable Request Validation

    Hi :) , i am using umbraco v 4.7
    i made a page to send emails , the point I used a free rich text editor for the mail body,

    the point is everytime i try to send an email the following error occurs

    A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderDefault$cp_content$MailerControl_2$RtbBody="<p>bla bla bla<br...").

    i checked the error  and all agreed that i must set

    validateRequest="false"

    http://www.asp.net/learn/whitepapers/request-validation
    so when i go to the template and set


    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/umbMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true"  validateRequest="false" %>

     gives the following error

    Error parsing attribute 'validaterequest': Type 'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not have a public property named 'validaterequest'.

    is there a solution for this :) ?

    thanks

    Hi,

    Must set this property on Page level, not on Masterpage level. Either via code in your template or via web.config configuration change.

     

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    Hi Dirk, thanks but i'm not sure i got you :)

    the

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/masterpages/umbMaster.master" AutoEventWireup="true"  validateRequest="false" %>

    is in the template file of the page, not the master one,

     <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />
       
        <pages enableEventValidation="false" validateRequest="false"> ( which is a killer for website security)

    didn't work too :(

    Ok , here's the deal in case someone passes by this post,

    i couldn't find a way to set validaterequest from code behind ( it's impossible coz it's already set before the page is rendered and even in page_load you can set it , but it would be useless )

    so the only answer to this , is to encode the value of the text from the rich text editor
    to do that check this link http://www.prodevtips.com/2008/10/21/jquery-plugin-html-decode-and-encode/

    then using server.htmldecode the textbox.text, and setting mailmessage.htmlbody=true
    you are going to send a successful html email ;)
