Provides a public method that calls the protected IsValidRequestString(HttpContext, String, RequestValidationSource, String, Int32) method in order to validate HTTP request data.
public:
bool InvokeIsValidRequestString(System::Web::HttpContext ^ context, System::String ^ value, System::Web::Util::RequestValidationSource requestValidationSource, System::String ^ collectionKey, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] int % validationFailureIndex);public bool InvokeIsValidRequestString (System.Web.HttpContext context, string value, System.Web.Util.RequestValidationSource requestValidationSource, string collectionKey, out int validationFailureIndex);member this.InvokeIsValidRequestString : System.Web.HttpContext * string * System.Web.Util.RequestValidationSource * string * int -> boolPublic Function InvokeIsValidRequestString (context As HttpContext, value As String, requestValidationSource As RequestValidationSource, collectionKey As String, ByRef validationFailureIndex As Integer) As BooleanParameters
- context
- HttpContext
The HTTP context of the request.
- value
- String
The HTTP request data to validate.
- requestValidationSource
- RequestValidationSource
An enumeration that represents the source of request data that is being validated. The following are possible values for the enumeration:
QueryStringFormCookiesFilesPathPathInfoHeaders.
- collectionKey
- String
(Optional) The key in the request collection of the item to validate. This parameter is used if the data to validate is obtained from a collection. If the data to validate is not from a collection, this parameter can be null.
- validationFailureIndex
- Int32
When this method returns, indicates the zero-based starting point of the problematic or invalid text in the request collection. This parameter is passed uninitialized.
Returns
true if the string to validate does not contain unencoded characters that could be used in a malicious scripting attack; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The InvokeIsValidRequestString method provides public access to the protected IsValidRequestString method. This lets you create a custom wrapper class for the RequestValidator class and call the IsValidRequestString method without having to inherit from the RequestValidator class.
