Hi,
I'm writing an application that use an Asp.Net Application to
send/recive data from a database (MS SQL Server).
To send/recive data i use XML. From ASP to the other application all
work fine.
But when I try to send XML data as a parameter from the other
application to the Asp.Net application I get an exception.
Asp.Net dosen't acept charters like "<" or ">" with same text inside:
"<text>".
Dose anyone know how i can send XML code like parameter to ASP?

Thaks

Alexander

No is not an homework exercice.

Ok I explain better:

My first application is a clinet-side Adobe Flex application. This
application must read and write data on a MS SQL Server. To do this I
use HTTP Post method and an Asp.Net application:

this is the code that i use in the asp application to read the XML
parameter:

....
private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
...
switch (Request["Call"])
{
...

case "SaveData":
MyFunction(Request["XML"]);
break;

...
}
....

But when i execute the comand to send XML data in the flex application i
obtain an error. The Flex code is correct (I test the same code with a
PHP/MySql application that work fine).

So the problem is that Asp.Net not acept string like "<sometext>" as
paramters.

Wath can i do?

Thanks

What exactly happens? Do you get a HttpRequestValidationException
exception? In that case the documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...exception.aspx
suggests you have some options to avoid that:

"Request validation detects potentially malicious client input and
throws this exception to abort processing of the request. A request
abort can indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your
application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. It is strongly
recommended that your application explicitly check all input regarding
request aborts. However, you can disable request validation by setting
the validateRequest attribute in the @ Page directive to false, as shown
in the following example:

<%@ Page validateRequest="false" %>

To disable request validation for your application, you must modify or
create a Web.config file for your application and set the
validateRequest attribute of the pages section to false, as shown in the
following example:

<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages validateRequest="false" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
