I have a ASP.NET 4.0 webforms site where I have the MasterPage so it is set to ViewStateMode="Disabled" along with the content placeholders being set similarly.
When I'd view my page I'd still see a ViewState field rendered, I then tried adding the ViewStateMode="Disabled" to the page level also but that didn't change anything.
I have a shopping cart page (Cart.aspx) that has a button that will (sometimes) post to a third party payment gateway, if payment is necessary. The payment gateway will process the payment and then do a silent post to my website (Order.aspx) so I can update the order status.
Order.aspx always throws an invalid viewstate error, even though viewstate is disabled on the page.
What's happening is that Cart.aspx (which has viewstate enabled) posts to the payment gateway, and the gateway will post it back as part of the silent post. Even though Order.aspx has viewstate disabled and validation disabled, it still tries to validate the __viewstate field it's being given.
I know setting EnableViewState=false will disable the rendering of the __viewstate field, but if another page provides the field, shouldn't it still skip validation? I tried calling ViewState.Clear() on the Page_Init event of Order.aspx, but ViewState is apparently empty. how to get around this? I don't want to disable ViewState on Cart.aspx (in some cases it may be necessary), but I can't figure out how to clear it on Order.aspx.
I have a repeater which viewstate is disabled, inside i have a textbox and a submit button. Before disabling viewstate i could get the text from the textbox in the submit buttons onClick event. But now it doesnt seem to work.
I dont want to enable viewstate on the repeater as my site get really heavy then. How can I get the value form the textbox when I click the submit button? using .net 3.5
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.
View 1 RepliesI want to disable my viewstate in a form because its too bulky (about 1mb per page) due to retrieving some data from database and in other place on the same form I want to access a control from my master page. but when I set viewstate of Listview to false I'll get following error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. what should I do in this situation? veiwstate is too damn bulky
and here is what I've written for accessing particular control:
Control cc = Page.Master.FindControl("mainContent").FindControl("ListView1").FindControl("itemPlaceholderContainer");
foreach (Control ListItemctrl in cc.Controls)
{
Control lblNewsId = ListItemctrl.FindControl("lblNewsID");
if (lblNewsId != null)
{
Type t = lblNewsId.GetType();
if (t.FullName == "System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label")
{
string newsID = ((Label)lblNewsId).Text;
foreach (Control childCtrl in ListItemctrl.Controls)
{
CheckBox ctrlCB = childCtrl.FindControl("chkItem") as CheckBox;
if (ctrlCB.Checked)
{
//based on DDLAction we will do the things ;)
}
if (childCtrl.FindControl("chkItem") != null)
break;
}//end foreach childCtrl
}
}//end outer if
}//end foreach listItenctrl
I am having an issue with dropdown list when viewstate is disabled. The selectedindexchanged event fires even for the other events on the page.
I am pasting the code bello. To reproduce the issues I am mentioning change the selected value of the dropdownlist and then click any button the selected indexchanged event fires even thought we didnot change the value.

I have a CheckboxList that seems to load and do everything right, except for when I do a postback, it will not have the Item.Selected property set. I have viewstate disabled for the entire page.
I load it like so(inside Page_Load on every load):
foreach (DataRow service in d.Tables[0].Rows)
{ [code]...
and MyLabel never has any text added to it. I can verify with the debugger that it does reach the _Click's foreach loop, but no item is ever selected. What could be the cause of this?
When we disabled the viewstate in gridview its lose value but this case not true with Textbox control why?
View 1 RepliesAfter witnessing some strange behvior I'm confused about ViewState again :/
My understanding was a textbox needed to have "EnableViewState" set to true otherwise when the you postback the fields contents would disappear.
That's not happening, I created a textbox and button and a label.
The button was set to copy contents of text box into the label when I pressed it.
I did and the text was populated into the label and remained in the textbox?
This was inside an UpdatePanel and the page itself has a MasterPage, so that might have something to do with it, but I have about 50 textboxes on this page all with viewstate=true on, so I would really like to know what controls need to have enableViewstate=true in order o function properly.
If I disable the ViewState on a ListView, the events raised by it are no longer ired. OnPagePropertiesChanging is the ListView event I've always used in combination with the DataPager to update the ListView to the correct page once a DataPager item is clicked, but since its not being fired, I'm wondering if there are any other options. My ListView is currently in an UpdatePanel, and I'm caching the results that the ListView is being bound to. I could rebind the cached results on the PageLoad, but I can't think of a good way to determine if the PageLoad is being accessed because the DataPager was clicked, or for some other reason, so this doesn't seem like a good idea
View 2 RepliesI am using a GridView with an ObjectDataSource bound to a DataTable. I am using the GridView for displaying a report, NO editing is being done, just read only, however, I am sorting and paging. I need to turn off ViewState for the GridView to improve performance. After turning off the ViewState I start getting the error messages for both paging and sorting:The GridView 'gridView' fired event Sorting which wasn't handled.This is fine I just need to know how to implement the Sorting and Paging events correctly to leveage the ObjectDataSource. I would preffer not to remove the ObjectDataSource from use, especially if there is a way I can manually wire up the datasource correctly to continue to use the GridView as I had been when ViewState was on.Any help on getting the datasource wired up or a solution for handling the events in the context of the datasource would be great.
View 1 RepliesFor some reason, I can change the property of a control in javascript, but then when their is a postback, it seems as if the control property ignores how I have set the property in javascript and goes by its last asp viewstate.
View 1 RepliesWas the new ViewStateMode property introduced to avoid breaking the existing EnableViewState?
Does setting EnableViewState = false at the page level cause the ViewStateMode setting to be ignored?
PS: What is CW in stackoverflow?
I'm looking at an asp.net application, i notice that there are assemblies defined into two places. In web.config there is configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies/add elements. In the project file there are references setup under the Project/ItemGroup/Reference elements.
I was wondering, what is the difference between assemblies/references added in either location?
Is there a way to retrieve values from the form object using the id element instead of the name element?
View 3 RepliesI have a table in ASP.Net like this.
[code]....
I want to give border line to first td element which contains the colspan and rowspan. Not to the entire row.
I have noticed that when I create a website in a network drive and use the Ajax toolkit I get :
Element 'ToolkitScriptManager' is not a known element
I also noticed that after adding the ToolkitScriptManager it doesn't add the ID in the source code, it looks like this:
<asp:ToolkitScriptManager runat="server"></asp:ToolkisScriptManager>
Is missing the ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" part.
This doesn't happen when I create the site in my local drive. Is there a workaround to this. Even if I add the missing parts, I keep getting the same error.
I would like to select an element that is in the same TR as another element I found with a selector. The selector itself: $("input[name='sMessageValue']","#messageTable") Now I have this element and got its value I would like to find a checkbox located in the same TR, i tried this as starting point : $(this).(':parent').val(). But seems not the right thing to do.
View 9 RepliesYou're making a website with ASP.NET 4.0/C#, although xml alone is suitable for this example. The site will have a site map and a default page with a menu control, as follows:Web.sitemap
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="~/default.aspx" title="Home" description="">
<siteMapNode url="~/1.aspx" title="Link 1" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/2.aspx" title="Link 2" description="" />
<siteMapNode url="~/3.aspx" title="Link 3" description="" />

Element 'content' is not a known element. this can occur if there is a compilation error in the website, or the web.config file is missing.
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<asp:Content --- showed a green wavy line , and on hover displayed the above error.
Now I am having certain problems.
1. Visual Studio 2010 hangs when I try to use ToolBox.
2. Intellisense for asp.net controls is not working.
I have tried replacing web.config file (frm backup) , tried to debug - it doesnt show anything.
All other websites are working alright. Have problem with only one of the websites.
I upgraded from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and now the AJAX elements are not recognised by the source code editor, e.g. UpdatePanel, ScriptManager, etc. I get warnings in VS and no intellisense for those elements. When I run the site, all the AJAX controls work OK though.
View 6 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 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 got this errors while trying to use an example from the ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed book.
Webform1.aspx
[Code]....
LengthValidator.cs
[Code]....
As from the book's note, I think I added this line correctly:
[Code]....
However, the compiler kept complaining that:
