AllowHtmlAttribute Class

Allows a request to include HTML markup during model binding by skipping request validation for the property. (It is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all models where you disable request validation in order to prevent script exploits.)

'Usage
Dim instance As AllowHtmlAttribute
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple = false, 
    Inherited = true)]
public sealed class AllowHtmlAttribute : Attribute, 
    IMetadataAware
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Property, AllowMultiple = false, 
    Inherited = true)]
public ref class AllowHtmlAttribute sealed : public Attribute,

Remarks

By default, the ASP.NET MVC framework checks requests during model binding to determine whether they contain potentially dangerous content as HTML markup. If HTML is detected, model binding throws an error.

If a property is marked with the AllowHtmlAttribute attribute, the ASP.NET MVC framework skips validation for that property during model binding. For more information, see the entry Granular Request Validation in ASP.NET MVC on Marcin Dobosz's blog.

Warning

Allowing HTML input is a potential security threat. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
