I have a textbox which I need to enter html code into (like < strong> or < em> for example). The trouble is this is causing an error writing this back to the database. A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (tbVOther="< strong>test.Is there a way around this without turning off the request validation setting?

In Microsoft Access there was an easy method to turn off screen updates by setting Echo = False. Is there an equivalent in VB.NET for WinForms? I've got a situation where I'm trying to prevent users from seeing controls flickering while they're being updated. I could probably solve the problem by coding it differently, but would rather avoid it if I can.
View 2 Repliesstring which is obtained from a webservice that I would like to display in a textbox. The problem is the existing string is in HTML format so when I place it in the textbox it still has all the <Tags> etc. Is there a way to parse this text or would I be best to use the webbrowser tool?

with a textbox if I can)

I have a form that I have been getting submissions that have punctuation and special characters that trigger the potentially dangerous Request.Form value error. I have been trying use the httpUtility.htmlencode and Server.htmlencode method to sanitize textboxes and textareas.All my tests do not fire because the built-in request validation of the 4.0 framework prevents the code-behind from executing to perform the sanitization. I have included the ValidateRequest in the page header but no matter what I set it too it still does the same thing.
This is the code I have so far.
Session("RequestID") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtRequestID.Value)
Session("FirstName") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtInstFirstName.Text)
Session("LastName") = Server.HtmlEncode(txtInstLastName.Text)

View 3 RepliesI have written server code in vb.Net. I want it to read to variables sent by another server's HTTP 'GET' request. For example the first server will send this URL [URL]msgid=$messageid where the values to be used by my server are sender, receiver, msgdata, recvtime and msgid I have written my code but it only reads the address sent by the http server and locates for the file in the server's root directory. I want the server to be reading the variables sent by the other server using the HTTP 'GET' request. My code is shown below

I am currently trying to be able to set the HTML in a WebBrowser control. The bit that I am having the trouble with is that when I go to put the HTML in the WebBrowser control on Form.Load or Form.Activated the WebBrowser1.Document.Body is Nothing. This means when I try to do; WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerHtml = value I'm getting an exception as I am trying to use it.I have also tried setting the HTML on the DocumentCompleted event for the WebBrowser control, but that event doesn't fire when I load the form (to be honest I didn't think it would but it was suggested somewhere on the Internet).

How to enter the date in the masked text box and how to validate it
View 2 RepliesOK, so i was going to verify a MaskedTextBox on whether the number input was or was not 10 digits in length. If not 10 digits, obviously they didn't put in a full phone number.
The problem is, even though you have no digits the length is still 10 so you can't check if the user put in 10 digits or not and return an error? Anyone got any ideas on testing for a phone number?I've seen tons of examples on date verification, but none on phone number verification.
Is there any possibility that I can put this large chunk of code to a function so that I can call and verify the input without having to repeat the code for every textbox.keyPress event.
Here it is:
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
With e
If IsNumeric(.KeyChar) Or .KeyChar = "[" Or .KeyChar = "]" Or .KeyChar = ";" Or .KeyChar = ":" _

I have one textbox basically the user is going to enter in a 9 digit number or letters. From there I want to have a buttonclick event that validates this against 2 columns in a MSSQL Database. First to check if the number exists, next to check if it is active or inactive.
There are about 27000 rows of numbers so my main question is what is the best approach to handling something like this.
Should I create a view and validate in the click event. Should I create a stored procedure in sql that takes an input parameter and call it in the click event.
I was also reading about storing the information in a dataset however with that many records i am assuming that is going to be a slow process.
I need to amend the code below to cater for only two Decimal places. Anyone know how i can do this?
[Code]....
First off, let me apologize for my wording. I'm a student programmer and code primarily in JAVA so my my lingo may be a little skewed.I have created a method to create text boxes in my program that all have the same properties (ie certain text, size, font, fore color, backcolor,etc.) that looks like this:
[Code]...
I have a number of textboxes on a form, and I want them all to accept the ENTER key. When the ENTER key is pressed, I want it to trigger the validating event. I know it will look something like this:
Private Sub Textbox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Textbox1.KeyPress, Textbox2.Keypress
[Code].....
What code can I use to cause the validating event to fire? I'd prefer the focus to stay in the textbox.
Can I validate a texbox to have only True or false? You should enter True or false in the textbox.
