Hi all
I am new and trying to insert a hyperlink into a column in a table but get the following error.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?:
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (DetailsView1$ctl02="<A href=http://www....).
Source File: c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\e2hotdeals\ebabed00\31f11669\App_Web_3vkaihfu.16.cs    Line: 0

That appears to be a .NET and not a SQL error. I suspect you may need to insert it as <"http://...

Try this in your SQL query that returns the value -

'<a href=' + Char(39) + 'existingorder.aspx' + Char(39) + '>View</a>' AS 'View Order'

Also if you are using a gridview you will need to set the column's HtmlEncode to False
