Anyone been playing with ASP.NET and the error message it automagically creates?

Given the following helpful error message, what experience have other people had SUCCESSFULLY exploiting this type of vuln on IIS6, given the comprehensive automated response?

A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client (criteria="'><H1>Toss</H1>").
Description: Request Validation has detected a potentially dangerous client input value, and processing of the request has been aborted. This value may indicate an attempt to compromise the security of your application, such as a cross-site scripting attack. You can disable request validation by setting validateRequest=false in the Page directive or in the configuration section. However, it is strongly recommended that your application explicitly check all inputs in this case.

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpRequestValidationException: A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was detected from the client (criteria="'><H1>Toss</H1>").

Source Error:
