The samples were created to use .NET Framework 1.1 when running on an IIS Server. The 1.1 ASPX pages require that the Page Directive “ValidateRequest=false” be set in the code. The 1.0 Framework does not understand this setting. To remedy this, remove the words “ValidateRequest=false” wherever they appear in the code.
