A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client

Hi

I want to store the text from a TextBox that contains <br> , *, $
etc.to sql server. But it shows me an error message "A potentially
dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
(ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$Comments="...rts from: <br>14:15 Bus Stop
1..."). "

If the text does not contain these special characters it gets inserted
with out any problem.

Please suggest me how to solve this.
