Don'ts»

  • Don't use Session variables. Session variables can cause issues when running in webfarm scenarios. Neither DotNetNuke or any of the core projects use session variables for this reason.

  • Don't trust user input - if you need to accept user input you should use the PortalSecurity InputFilter methods to filter the content as required.
