XSS for ASP.net developers

As a follow-up to the conference given at Confoo few weeks ago, we are doing a focus article on the same topic. The presentation was giving an overview of the modern XSS attack vectors and filter bypass. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at XSS in the context of .NET applications.
This article is intended to be a simple checklist for ASP.net MVC developers or security auditors. Defensive measures can be put in place at various layers including the template files (Razor or ASPx Forms), the Request Validation feature and the client-side (browser) filters.
