title: asp.net sanitizing user input
body: <p>Does asp.net have a built in mechanism that can sanitize all textbox input instead of redirecting to the error page?</p>
  
  <p>I have a textbox input where a user can enter a name, but if they try to enter and &lt;> tags the page automatically throws an error.  I just want to handle this error in a user friendly way.</p>
