I have a web application that uses query strings and in some cases sessions as an input.

Now there is no way I can stop a user from typing this.

https://myApplication/<><>

Whenever a user types this it shows a error message "Potentially dangerous request..path value.
How can I handle this issue?

    Hi @Adeel Mirza ,
    The <><> character is not allowed in the path of the URL, You could try add <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" /> at system.web section.
    You could learn from this thread.
