Hii Rajeesh, below my code its not working in vs 2010 public partial class SiteMaster : MasterPage { private const string AntiXsrfTokenKey = "__AntiXsrfToken" ; private const string AntiXsrfUserNameKey = "__AntiXsrfUserName" ; private string _antiXsrfTokenValue; protected void Page_Init( object sender, EventArgs e) { //First, check for the existence of the Anti-XSS cookie var requestCookie = Request.Cookies[AntiXsrfTokenKey]; Guid requestCookieGuidValue; //If the CSRF cookie is found, parse the token from the cookie. //Then, set the global page variable and view state user //key. The global variable will be used to validate that it matches in the view state form field in the Page.PreLoad //method. if (requestCookie != null && Guid.TryParse(requestCookie.Value, out requestCookieGuidValue)) { //Set the global token variable so the cookie value can be //validated against the value in the view state form field in //the Page.PreLoad method. _antiXsrfTokenValue = requestCookie.Value; //Set the view state user key, which will be validated by the //framework during each request Page.ViewStateUserKey = _antiXsrfTokenValue; } //If the CSRF cookie is not found, then this is a new session. else { //Generate a new Anti-XSRF token _antiXsrfTokenValue = Guid.NewGuid().ToString( "N" ); //Set the view state user key, which will be validated by the //framework during each request Page.ViewStateUserKey = _antiXsrfTokenValue; //Create the non-persistent CSRF cookie var responseCookie = new HttpCookie(AntiXsrfTokenKey) { //Set the HttpOnly property to prevent the cookie from //being accessed by client side script HttpOnly = true , //Add the Anti-XSRF token to the cookie value Value = _antiXsrfTokenValue }; //If we are using SSL, the cookie should be set to secure to //prevent it from being sent over HTTP connections if (FormsAuthentication.RequireSSL && Request.IsSecureConnection) responseCookie.Secure = true ; //Add the CSRF cookie to the response Response.Cookies.Set(responseCookie); } Page.PreLoad += master_Page_PreLoad; } protected void master_Page_PreLoad( object sender, EventArgs e) { //During the initial page load, add the Anti-XSRF token and user //name to the ViewState if (!IsPostBack) { //Set Anti-XSRF token ViewState[AntiXsrfTokenKey] = Page.ViewStateUserKey; //If a user name is assigned, set the user name ViewState[AntiXsrfUserNameKey] = Context.User.Identity.Name ?? String.Empty; } //During all subsequent post backs to the page, the token value from //the cookie should be validated against the token in the view state //form field. Additionally user name should be compared to the //authenticated users name else { //Validate the Anti-XSRF token if (( string )ViewState[AntiXsrfTokenKey] != _antiXsrfTokenValue || ( string )ViewState[AntiXsrfUserNameKey] != (Context.User.Identity.Name ?? String.Empty)) { throw new InvalidOperationException("Validation of Anti-XSRF token failed."); } } } }

Hi, I think without creating a new thread you can continue with the old one. Atleast other authors will come to know the existing answers. Old Thread : https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/forums/how-to-prevent-csrf-attack-in-asp-net
