postback problem

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have a bunch of dropdownlists that are populated in client-side
javascript. When i do a postback I get the following error:-


Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using
<pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page
EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this
feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate
from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid
and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method
in order to register the postback or callback data for validation.

Any Ideas? What can I do to fix it?

TIA!

TIA,



as the error message indicates asp.net >= 1.1 in the default configuration
hinders changes made on the client to prevent XSS (Cross Site Scripting). If
you don't want this support you can change <pages
enableEventValidation="true"/> to <pages enableEventValidation="false"/> or
set <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> to <%@ Page
EnableEventValidation="false" %> in the one page you want to allow changes
made to your dropdownlists. Be sure though to check EVERY value on the
server. Remember: ALL INPUT IS EVIL!!!

Hi Param,

I think Daniel's suggestion is correct. The "EnableEventValidation" (by
default turn on ) in asp.net 2.0 is used to ensure that all the postback
request of the page is caused by the servercontrol or script code rendered
by the page's serverside code. So when you populate some clientside html
elemetns and postback through them, it will violate the event validation...

You can either turn off this feature at Page Level through the @Page
directive or in the web.config 's <pages> setting .... (for the whole web
application).

Thanks,

Is Turning Off this new "feature" the only option here? Because I have
the same problem and would like to leave this on if possible. In my
page AND my composite control which contains the drop down lists I
have code like this

Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter)
For Each control As Control In Me.Controls
Me.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(control.ID)
Next
MyBase.Render(writer)
End Sub

and the page still blows up when I click a button on the web page that
uses the control.

If any one sees where I have erred please do tell.

Will anyone from Microsoft please comment on this issue?
I am trying to use a GridView control in a UserControl and even the turning
off of the EnableEventValidation option does not help when the grid is in
edit mode!


Thanks,
Momtchil

Have you come to a resolution on this? Is there a way to disable the
event validation for a single control on a page, rather than turning
off event validation for the entire page (by using the @Page directive
EnableEventValidation="false" ).

I too would rather not turn this feature off for everything on the
page. I'd rather bypass the validation check on the single
dropDownList that has the problem. I'm fiddling around with the code,
and trying to search out information on the correct way to do this, but
I wondering if it's even possible.

Any luck getting this to work?
