Question

I’m using various ASP.NET controls out of the box such as the CreateUserWizard control, Login control etc… For custom controls, I have sanitized my inputs by making sure they conform to expected values. However, is this required for the controls such as the CreateUserWizard control, or is that handled internally? Do I need to provide any extra server side validation to these controls and, if so, would it be best to do it in the “CreateUserWizardControl_CreatingUser” event?
Thanks

If input is coming from any form, then treat it as suspect. I’ve included some links here that may help you:
