The following message appears in our log:The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request. alot has been written about this subject. However, I cannot reproduce this behavior, and I only find a couple thousand errors per day in the logs; so it's probably isn't that obvious.
The page in question has an UpdatePanel and loads one of three usercontrols depending on the querystring.Is there any known issue with some clients, or any other possible explanation?
I am using ASP.NET's server-side validation. In the page_load event I'm calling Page.Validate(), and if Page.IsValid is not true I'm then polling the controls to figure out which ones are not valid, and then determining what actions to take.It would be much easier if each control would raise an event as validation fails, allowing me to take action for that particular control. I'm very much a naive programmer when it comes to validation, but is there a way to extend these controls so that a validation error raises an event?
Can anyone tell me how to re-display a form when validation fails, i'm having a problem in that when i submit an empty form, the whole ascx file is returned with textbox and button etc.
It is easy enough to add a required field validator to this page like this.
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="valMyTextBox" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtMyTextBox" ErrorMessage="My Text Box is required."></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
But I need to modify the HTML slightly if this text box fails validation. I need to add a CSS class to the DIV. So if the user leaves this field blank I need the HTML to look like this:
Is this possible? I can't figure out if there is a way to write code behind that only fires if this particular validator control fails validation or something. I know I can write code that runs when the entire page is not valid. But I just want this code to run when this validator returns invalid. Hope this makes sense.
I tried this in many scenarios and everytime the ViewState is disabled page-wide, NoBot raises an internal NullReferenceException and always returns InvalidBadSession. I suspect that you are referencing the ViewState and it returns a null value which is then used. It's probably a good idea to think about a way that avoids using ViewState.
What is the best way to debug a CompareValidator that always fails the validation? Is there any way to see what the values are that it's comparing to maybe get a clue as to what's going wrong?
I'm working on an application form for a website which implements ASP.NET validation (including client side).
I have a requirement to display a message at the bottom of the page if the client validation fails. Something along the lines of "Please go back and check your answers".
The problem is, the submit button's OnClientClick event obviously fires before the client validation.
I have got a label that displays the result of the last action (ie "Success - Record Upload") I also have a Validation Summary and when validation fails i want to clear the label so it no longer displays the result of the last action.
I have a page where user can create their account. I have several validation controls on the page.When user clicks submit button the message box pops up with appropriate messges(as configured in validation summary). But once users clicks the OK button, then the form submits. Ideally it shouldn't do it?
I'm trying to prevent data from loading on the page when its needed.
Currently, I check the IsPostBack bool to prevent loading data in my user controls which allows the data to be loaded when the page is initially requested.
However, if my page fails validation and the page is sent back to the user with error messages, my user controls no longer have data in them because the initial request was a postback.
One solution is to have a flag in every user control (IsFailedPostBack) to force them to reload their data. Is there a better way?
We're running a fairly large site, and a lot of our visitors have started using their Android based cellphones to visit the site. However when they try to login, we get an Event Validation error:
Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using 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.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this, without disabling Event validation entirely ?
It isn't every single time they visit, but it is often enough that it's a problem.
Also we never get these on PC-based browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc.)
EDIT:
The page this happens on has no updatepanels, no custom __doPostback code, etc. It's pretty much vanilla with a simple LinkButton that causes the postback.
Also this error occurs on a bunch of other pages as well (Just found out about that now), so I doubt it's a lone design fault.
I'm writing a small web application in c# and i'm running into a small problem.
Basically, on page_load() my backend MySQL db is queried to bring back the user data, and that is then inserted into the textbox controls as below:
[Code]....
Now the problem occurs when the RequiredFieldValidator kicks in. In my form processing function, I call Page.IsValid(), it fails and displays the required message next to the required fields.
I was wondering if there is a workaround for this, or a better way to go about what i'm trying to do.
How do I setup the ModalPopupExtender to not show when the validation on the page fails? I have a RequiredFieldValidator on a textbox. On Submit, I would like to show the ModalPopupExtender ONLY if validation is successful.
I have been asked to display tooltips instead of plain text when form validation fails. We are currently using asp.net MVC 3 data annotation validators to display validation error messages. I am still fairly new to MVC and I have spent hours online looking for a clean solution
I've got an ASP.NET webform with asp:TextBox and asp:RequiredFieldValidator at the bottom of the page. If client side validation fails on form submit - the page scrolls all the way up.
I'd like to maintain the scroll position on failed client-side validation.
I'm using the ASP.NET login control and I'm displaying a jQuery throbber when the submit button is clicked. This works fine, but the throbber is visible if client side validation fails and the button is invisible, so the user cannot re-submit the form. How do I hide the throbber if client side validation fails?
i have these message in only one user of my web ASP.NET application.
Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey & validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.
After changing the Master Page in ASP.NET MVC 1.0 application, I keep getting this familiar error when I try a postback without filling in the mandatory form elements which are validated by the server:
"Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster."
The new page refers to a lot of jQuery code with lightboxes, superfish etc. Could that be a problem while doing a postback?
If I revert back to the original master, the error disappears and I'm able to validate form fields. Both masters are located in the same path.
After a little debugging, I've realized that a directive in the master page:
<% Html.RenderAction("menu", "nav"); %>
is creating the problem. The directive asks the "menu" action of the controller "nav" to inject a partial view Menu.ascx. If I delete this line from the new master page, everything works OK. My app's left bar navigation relies on this directive to work properly. Is there any way I can get around this?
I am trying a MVC 2 application on my computer's IIS and when I go to a page that contains a form I get the following error:
-----------------------
Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.
Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

What is strange is that on the begining the form is ok but after a while I started to get this error.And why at the start everything was ok and after a while I started to get this error?
Line 44, Column 69: there is no attribute "AlternateText" You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash. I can't figure this out.
I have an CustomViewModel that is composed of three layers of objects.
The first one is to store and populate lists to be used in dropdowns.
The second one is to store additional propperties that I want.
And the third one is the model itself.
I create the view using View(new Layer(model))
And at the post i have ActionResult .... (Container container)
I made this architecture because i was having a lot of problems with model binder and enums...
So when i post to the form and the ModelBinder checks the validation attributes, the IsValid operation at the attribute X applied to the model class has its parameter value as null.
This behavior doesn't happen if I Just use the simple model to create and post the view.
What I have to do to get this work ?
I made a few changes to the AccountController to use it as sample here, here is the code:
[Code]....
Just change the register page to inherits from RegisterModelLayer.
When I post, the value parameter at the IsValid function at the PropertiesMustMatchAttribute class is null;
As a consequence i can't validate and get an null exception maybe.
I am having a problem where my button click event is still firing even though my custom server-side validation is set to args.IsValid = false. I am debugging through the code and the validation is definitely being fired before the button click, and args.IsValid is definitely being set to false once the custom validation takes place, but it always makes its way to the button click event afterwards.
