I've got my input decorated as follows.

<AllowHtml()>
<UIHint("MarkDown")>
<DisplayName("about")>
<Required(ErrorMessage:="Description is required")>
<StringLength(2048, ErrorMessage:="Description is too long")>
Public Property Description As String

My editor template looks like this

@ModelType String

<noscript><h3>Please use @Html.ActionLink("Markdown", "Markdown", "About") to style your input.</h3></noscript>
<div id="wmd-button-bar" class="wmd-panel"&g开发者_如何学Got;</div>
@Html.TextArea("", Model, 5, 10, New With {.id = "wmd-input", .class = "wmd-panel"})
<div id="wmd-preview" class="wmd-panel"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>

and when I try and intentionally submit a <script> tag, I get the YSOD

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (Description="... here. <script>

var a = b;...").

My question: how do I make this work?

EDIT

Here's the controller Action Method

''# fix stack overflow code coloring
''# <AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)>
Function Edit(ByVal user As Domain.User, ByVal id As Integer) As ActionResult
    If AuthenticationHelper.RetrieveAuthUser.ID = id Then
        If Not user.RegionID.HasValue Then ModelState.AddModelError("UserRegion", "Invalid region selected")

        ''# We only want to process the View Data if the state of theB
        ''# Model is valid.  If it's not valid, we send the user back to
        ''# the View with some validation instructions.  This really only
        ''# happens if the user has JavaScript disabled because we're also
        ''# using Client Side validation for a friendlier user experience.
        If ModelState.IsValid Then

            ''# We want to update the user record before we expire and
            ''# re-issue the authentication cookie so that the new data
            ''# will be issued to the new authcookie.
            UserService.UpdateUser(user)
            UserService.SubmitChanges()

            ''#Expire the cookie and recreate it


            ''# when all is said and done, send the user
            ''# back to their profile page.
            Return RedirectToAction("Details", "Users", New With {.id = id, .slug = user.UserName.ToUrlFriendlyString})
        Else
            Return View(user)
        End If
    Else
        Throw New ResourceNotFoundException()
    End If
End Function

Here's the stack trace

Thanks for the report. This is another manifestation of a caching bug described at http://forums.asp.net/p/1632006/4206895.aspx. The workaround steps are the same; from within Global.asax Application_Start, put this line of code:

ModelMetadataProviders.Current = new DataAnnotationsModelMetadataProvider();

This will disable the errant cache.
