Please Tell me Just How Can I disable View Source.(When u right click on a page and Click on View Source). I want to disable View Source on page and also in toolbar "view"

hi, YOU CANNOT DO THAT. you can stop the right click on browser....but you cannot disable ViewSource menuitem in View menu in toolbar.......it just cannot be achieved by any means.... i once had the same problem. you can decrypt the code but make sure to take a back up of html.

There is no way that you can safely protect the source of the page. If you don't want the data to be available to anyone, don't put it in the page. There is some Javascript that can disable some of the options in some specific browser, but anyone interrested in viewing the source code can use a different browser or disable Javscript to be able to see the source.

You can't stop it from the menu, hence my asking why you;re writing insecure code in the first place. Is there a reason ?

Basically, your approach is completelly wrong. Even if you are able to disable 'View source' code in browser, that still doesn't prevent users to see your source code (anybody can make own 'browser', or just write few lines of code to run WebRequest and retrieve source of your html). If you need to pass any sensible data, use ViewState, for example (anyway, it is not 100% secure, but it is not in plain text at least) override LoadViewState and SaveViewState method of your ASP.NET page to implement this functionality. If you don't know how to do this, ask google: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=override+SaveViewState&btnG=Search&meta= I still don't understand, why do you want to pass sensible data into a page, why you just don't keep them on server?

You can't. Period.

Please read the first sentence of my previous post again. Repeat until the urge to put sensetive data in the page fades away.
