What Is The Difference Between Postback / Autopostback And Callback
Aug 27, 2010
can you define autopostback and postback and it's differences and which web server control support autopostback and postback and also the difference between postback and callback?
Is there a difference, or are the terms synonymous? i could only find the difference between a full postback and a callback. I'm already aware of how a full postback is different.
I have a Cascading drop down list that is working fine to load the correct lists however I would like to have the last one initiate a query and display a datagrid on the same page containing the results of the query. Without Ajax involved this seems rather easy by using autopostback on the drop downs. If I could do it through Ajax that would be great but I can settle with having the page to reload to display the data. Right now I'm not sure how to do either. I enabled autopostback on the last drop down and wrote a method for it but I get an error at runtime saying:
I have 2 textboxes and a submit button inside a .net composite server control. I tried to only postback when submit button is clicked. I set autopostback = false for both textboxes. But either one still trigger submit button's onclick event by hitting "Enter" inside textbox. How can I stop postback by enter key?
Whenever a postback would occur (AJAX'ed by an UpdatePanel) I want to do a callback beforehand and only after the callback has completed (either successfully or not) should the postback occur. How can I do this?
Elaborate explanation: We use ASP.NET AJAX (UpdatePanel 'n stuff) together with DevExpress controls. Among those controls is the ubiquitous GridView. As is typical with ASP.NET gridviews, you can edit rows one-by-one, and to save your changes you have to hit the "update" button at the end of the row. However if you make some changes to the row, then forget to press the "update" button, and hit something else in the page (say the big red SAVE button that causes a postback and saves the whole form to the DB), your changes will be lost. The row will still be in edit mode, but it will have reset to the data it had initially when you started the edit.
Our clients are not happy with this and want the row to be saved automatically if the user forgets to do so himself. Luckily the DevExpress gridview is smart enough to have an "Update()" method which I can call from JavaScript. Unluckily that causes a callback and returns immediately. If I allow the postback to continue as normally, the callback will get aborted. Well, technically it's a race condition I guess, but so far it seems that the postback wins. There are events to which I could attach for success/failure of the callback, but I don't know how to "resume" the postback that started it all. We could turn off callbacks for all the grids, but that would be a performance disaster.
I had web site I launched it on server and it worked well internal but when it being online this error appear in registration form<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.
I have updatePanel in my ASP.NET 2.0 (migrated from ASP.NET 1.1) web app. It doesn't work as it always postback instead of callback. I already set<xhtmlConformance mode="Transitional" /> but still not working. Previously, it just working.
I'm having this wierd issue I hope you could help me with.I have two drop down lists in my page, and an accordion.When a value is chosen for the first DDl it loads specific values from my database into the second ddl.I've put the second one inside an Update panel, and added the first DDL as AsyncTrigger, so whenever someone chooses a value from the first DDL it loads the second one without refreshing the page.After a value has been chosen for the second DDl the accordion should be populated with data.I've ran some tests and noticed that choosing a value from the second DDL won't populate the accordion, so I've added another PostBack trigger to the second DDL- the ddl itself.Sometimes it works fine- I choose a value from ddl2 and the accordion shows fine, but sometimes I get this error message: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."Before putting the second ddl inside the update panel everything worked well so I'm a bit baffled here.
When i tried to edit a record present in a gridview I am getting the following error "Invalid postback or callback argument.Event validation is enabled using <pages Enable event validation="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 server control that originally render them.If data is valid and expected,use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation."

I have few dropsdowns and a button in a page. When i click on that button , i get above exception. What is the best way to fix this exception? I dont want to set enableEventValidation to false in config or at page directive.
I have a web page with various controls. Two of them are dropdownlists. The first dropdownlist gets populated from an xml file on the page_load event. This works fine. To the first dropdownlist a cascadingdropdownlist extender is attached which calls a webservice each time the selection in the first dropdownlist is changed. This works fine too. Underneath my two dropdownlists I have a button which posts the page back. However, when I have made a selection in the second dropdownlist and click the button I get the following error:

I have a user control in the sidebar(in my web site) for display title and picture of any of news. his usercontrol in all of the pages is observable. when user click on the picture navigate to the page News.aspx for more details. first time i can but in second time when i click on another picture in the News.aspx i get an error like below:

I have searched high and low on this error, but my problem stems back to which control is causing this problem. In theory the problem starts when someone goes to a specific tab and clicks a button to download a PDF file. After doing that if I use a dropdownlist the error pops up.I have checked the code etc. just cannot figure out which control is triggering the error. I can identify the control that is the problem?
I have a TabContainer, within a tab, i have a gridview, within the gridview i have a ImageButton. When I click on the ImageButton, I will call a javascript. The javascript will call a Hidden Button click. This hiddenbutton is the TargetControl of the Modalpopup so that when I click on the ImageButton, modalpopup is trigger. The Popup panal, Hidden Button and ModalPopupExtender below:
and I on occasion want to add items to it using javascript/jquery.
When I select the items that have been added and it does a postback I get the following error:

I have a datalist which will display a list of groups from the database. In every group record, i have a button binding to it, and i give it a commandName call "joingroup" . When a user actaully clicks on the button(btnJoinGroup), the commandName fires. The problem i am facing now is, whenever i click on the button, i get this error below:
Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page.

If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation.
But I have another problem, my gridview is inside UpdatePanel and when I click on prev or next button I get exception: "Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Invalid postback or callback argument.

Do you know what should I do to make it work?I don't think that I should change enableEventValidation to "false" maybe I should use ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation? But I don't know how to use it.

Well I have a strange problem.I have a page with 2 DropDownLists on it and a custom web-user-control. The custom web user control has an UpdatePanel within it, and an Ajax Timer control within the UpdatePanel to periodically update a listing of stuff.When I "drop-down" one of the DropDownLists and hover over (not click on) an option while the Timer control within the UpdatePanel asynchronously posts back to the server, the DropDownList "autopostbacks" to the server!
I'm trying to figure out why an asynchronous postback would cause the DropDownList to act as if I selected/clicked on an option so that I can find a way around this issue.Now it's really simple to reproduce this problem. Create a Web User control called "TimerUpdatedListing"...this is the ASPX code markup for the web user control:
Typically I get this error when I am using AJAX, but I'm not using any AJAX at all in this page. Yet I'm getting this error. Invalid postback or callback argument Here is my code.
Is there a good way to test and debug these errors. I constantly get them emailed to me from my production site but I can not duplicate them. Below is the entire error.

i use cascading dropdown lists (in a user registration form) and when the user hits the submit button i get the error: "Invalid postback or callback argument" I've seen on the net that this is a problem dating back many years but still haven't found a solution to this. I've read about changing EnableEventValidation to false, but this poses a security risk.
<script type="text/javascript"> function configureDropDownLists(ddl_religion,ddl_caste) { var Hindu = new Array('Ahom', 'Brahmin-other', 'Intercaste','Kalita','Kayastha','kshatriya','Manipuri','Maratha','Nepali','Rajbonshi','Rajput','SC','ST','Vishwakarma','Other'); var Muslim = new Array('Ansari', 'Arain', 'Awan','Bohra','Dekkani','Dudekula','Jat','Malik','Qureshi','Khoja','Memon','Mughal','Pathan','Mapila','Shafi','Sheikh','Syed','Siddiqui','Other');
[Code] ....
Everything is working fine and i am able to update the second dropdownlist based on the item selected in the first dropdownlist.
The problem is that i am not able to capture the data to a cs file and upload then it to database and i am getting this error:
