Remarks
The DataEditorsEnableValidationForNotModifiedValues property allows you to add additional security to data editors in an application. When enabled, this property allows you to validate editor values on the server side even if their values are not modified by users on the client.
Note
In version 19.2, we’ve changed this API behavior to improve data security of DevExpress data editors.
Breaking Change: The ASP.NET Web Forms and Bootstrap Data Editors - Editors validate their values on the server side even if the user made no changes on the client side topic illustrates details and describes how to revert to the previous behavior (degrading data security).
Example
The following code illustrates how to disable this functionality:
Global.asax:
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
ASPxWebControl.BackwardCompatibility.DataEditorsEnableValidationForNotModifiedValues = false;
}
