Hi,

Validate Request is used for Securing Your Code

To validate input and never output it directly to the browser, A form of protection that ASP.NET 1.1 provides is page validation. This is done by adding a ValidateRequest attribute to the page or in the web.config. By default ValidateRequest is set to true to ensure secure code. Validation can occur at a page level, for example:

<%@ Page ... validateRequest="true" %>

Or by default in the web.config:

<system.web>
<pages validateRequest="true" />
</system.web>

With request validation in place, if have the code in the above examples in place, and someone were to enter in script into your app, a similar error to the one below would be displayed.

Server Error in '/xssapp' Application.
