I have a question regarding disabling viewstate.
I know how to do this in the page, however if I disable in a master page will all child pages and controls be disabled through inheritance?
The sites I mantain are using way too much ViewState and I'd like to reduce that so the size of the page is reduced. I've done a lot to remedy this but I have an issue relating to DropDown lists that use AutoPostbacks.I have a dropdown list with a lot of list items and a good part of the ViewState usage is to hold the list item data. If I disable ViewState and set the AutoPostBack property to true, the page will post back and in the page load I am trying to repopulate the dropdown list with cached data. However, it seems that the SelectedIndexChanged event doesn't fire when EnableViewState="false".Is it possible to make this work without enabling ViewState for the drodown list?
View 6 RepliesI have been getting this error a lot lately with some of my users, and I had a couple of concerns with view state and I have read so many articles but I am still lost..
1. I use masterpage on all the pages and I need viewstate for some of the pages but..
There is a page where a user will fill out the information and then submit this data to a cgi server, and it is where I get most of the Client Disconnected errors, what would happen if I disable viewstate when they click on that button?
Now when a user browses from one page to another, does the view state from the previous page get deleted? If not how would I delete it?
Does the master page have its own viewstate? Would I be able to make sure none of items on my master page are using the viewstate?
I have a nested master page that I use for multiple pages. There is a ContentPlaceHolder that is used for only one page, but it is not shown until after the first postback and some validation. I was first trying to use static controls and set the Visible property on the ContentPlaceHolder to true after the postback and that did not work at all. Then was messing with the visible properties of the Individual controls inside the ContentPlaceHolder which also did not work. I have the EnableViewState set to false for the Page and each of the controls including the ContentPlaceHolder. Is there a better way to do this? I can post my code if need be just wanted to see if there was a better solution to this before I did.
View 4 RepliesNow here is the weird thing. First i am running it locally on the built in vs2008 web server.I load my control in fine, do a postback from a linkbutton, locally on my machine it all works fine, no issue.However when it goes onto my host, it falls over with the message:
Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request.Now i also load controls dynamically and use postbacks and things in the admin area of the site...and that works fine, however my front end just keeps failing? See the code behing below:

I have problem getting values from viewstate in GetTopThemes.
<asp:ObjectDataSource
ID="sourceGetTopThemes"
runat="server"
TypeName="DBConnection"
SelectMethod="GetTopThemes"
EnableViewState="true"></asp:ObjectDataSource>
[Code]....
}

when the page is not Posted back, I saved all values in the viewstate.
I am having a master page in which i am having two controls
LoginRegister I want these controls not to be visibled in my UserRegistration.aspx page but should be visible in other pages.How can I solve this problem.
I want to know that when we create custom controls, then is there State Management through ViewState done automatically or we have to handle it explicitely ?Since i have created Custom Controls that is behaving as if it is not maintaining its state on PostBack.
View 9 RepliesOn page1.aspx i hava a textbox with id="tb1"
On page2.aspx I have a textbox with id="tb2"
page2.aspx is set as postbackurl for page1.aspx. For both labels enabl;eViewState is true. Shouldn't the text I write in page1 also appear in the label on page2? Can I implement this without looking into Request headers, and setting the text myself?
In my Application_BeginRequest I have code that gets query string value ?c=FR or ?c=US and store it in cookies.Based on query string value I have either US or FR,locale is selected from locale table.If ?c=FR then locale will be fr-FR and if it is US then locale will be en-US.My code is below.
void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LocalizationInfo loc = GetLocalizationInfo();
if (Request.Cookies["Localization"] == null)
Response.Cookies.Add(new HttpCookie("Localization"));
Response.Cookies["Localization"]["Country"] = loc.Country;
CultureInfo objCI = new CultureInfo(loc.Locale);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = objCI;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = objCI;
}
public static LocalizationInfo GetLocalizationInfo()
{
string countryCode = "";
string sLocale = "";
if (HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["Localization"]["Country"] != null)
countryCode = HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["Localization"]["Country"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["c"]))
countryCode = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["c"];
if (countryCode == "")
countryCode = "US";
sLocale = HertzRent2Buy.DataProvider.ListData.GetLocale(countryCode);
LocalizationInfo ret = new LocalizationInfo();
ret.Country = countryCode;
ret.Locale = sLocale;
return ret;
}
public struct LocalizationInfo
{
public string Country;
public string Locale;
}
Now when I run the project and in query string I set [URL] then for the very first page(home page itself) it shows me French translation,but on subsequent page,that query string parameter ?c=FR is lost and hence it shows be English translation not French translation since it does not pickup French resx file.If I manually append ?c=FR in subsequent page then it shows the French translation.Is there is way how I can make that query stringparameter available in all pages.Structure is there to hold Country and locale variables. In all pages I am calling GetLocalizationInfo() method as follow
LocalizationInfo info = some.DataProvider.Globalization.GetLocalizationInfo();
And I create instance info to pass locale and country as parameter. GetProductDetails(id,info.Country,info.locale). why my query string parameters get lost on subsequent pages.
I start with a blank ASP.NET page where I disable ViewState for the whole page with EnableViewState=False and even ViewStateMode=Disabled.keep adding various controls to the page -- Label, Table, Calendar, TextBox, DropDownList.Everything looks good, i.e. my __VIEWSTATE tag fluctuates between 24 and 28 characters.As soon as I add a single RadioButton (or CheckBox), the __VIEWSTATE shoots up to 130 characters. And it keeps growing by over 100 characters every time I add another RadioButton.

Now I would like to set this viewstate("data") = nothing on a certain button click in a user control (.ascx) in this page but it doesnt clear the viewstate. What am I doing wrong? In the onClick even of the button in the .ascx I write Me.viewstate("data") = Nothing
I want to use textbox value after I visit from current to other page then again to current page using viewstate but value should be the one when I was current page last time.
View 3 RepliesI am creating a simple string of values that get added to a label after a post back. I am setting the values thorugh ViewState. However, my appended values do not get updated until AFTER the 2nd postback. Example:
On Page_Load the label displays a "0";
If I enter a "1" in the text box and click the button the label still displays a "0";
If I click the button again (the 2nd postback) then my label correctly displays "0,1"; This works for whatever value I enter after. i.e. "0,1,35,hello world", etc.
What I am I missing? Code Below.
.ascx - I left out inherits and codebehind

As you know viewstate can recognize as a vulnarable item if we do not encrype it I know how to encrype the viewstate that I define in a web page but my problem start from here I downloaded a software which help you to exract the unencrypted viewstate of every website the link of that software is as follow:

but when I make even empty page without viewstate ,this program can extract the viewstae of my page but if check some website like google ,yahoo,amazoon
I have an application that I am working on. We are experiencing odd outages daily. The outages actually bring down the Virtual Servers (web farm of 4 VMs). The last odd metric before VM becomes inaccessible is that disk I/O is at 100%. While discussing this with the client, an idea was thrown out that I wouldn't have considered because I have never heard of such a thing. The idea was that our immense ViewState (yes I will be working on reducing that in the next release) overwhelmed the server or something and the server needed to start writing the ViewState to a file in a temporary folder somewhere. The thought was that when the server started to get overwhelmed, it would have to queue requests and would run out of memory and need to start using disk.
My application is poorly written and the viewstate is completely overused. However, it works 23+ hours of the day including through peak times without problems. But I have never heard of IIS or ASP.NET writing information to files on the server while queueing requests. I had no answer for this seemingly outrageous theory. Can anyone confirm for me that this is not how ASP.NET (2.0) or IIS are written?
In our control environment, we've started, somewhat intermittently, getting:
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.
on our website.It also suggests:
Source Error: The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:
1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:
<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %> or:
2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.
Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.
We already have compilation debug as true. We have upgraded our website to ASP.NET 4.0, although our middle tier components are still at 3.5. As we do in out production machine configs (which are using ASP.NET 3.5) we have
<section type="System.Web.Configuration.MachineKeySection, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=abcabc123123" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
we also have one in the new .NET 4.0 machine.config:
<section type="System.Web.Configuration.MachineKeySection, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=abcabc123123" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" />
This control environment is not in a server farm. Why is it suggesting that I turn on debug, when it's already on. Why isn't it showing me my source code?
I have this 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.
my website was designed using dotnet 2003 worked under dotnet framework 1.0 the website was working fine then i had to upgrade the server to windows 2008 iis 7.0 so i configured the website to work under dotnet frame work 2.0 and the problem started to show up
i have tried many
enableViewStateMac="false" viewStateEncryptionMode="Never" enableEventValidation="false"
