I've got a DropDownList and I'm trying to prevent it from being used as an attack vector. Can I assume that the user is unable to actually change the values of the DDL and postback to the server? At the moment, I get this ASP.NET error message thrown if I try and change the packet after submission:For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them.Am I right in thinking that this is due to the integrity being compromised in the viewstate hash?
In quite some scenario's, placing app_offline.htm in the root is just right: you do some updates, the message appears while updating, and that's that. The idea is, as Microsoft puts it, that before anything is called, IIS first checks if app_offline.htm is there and if so, it cancels everything and displays it.
So for so good, but in many situations it doesn't work:
When you have a compile error in an ASPX page and a user links directly to it When you have conflicting assemblies When you have a parsing error in your web.config In the midst of removing / uploading the entire site.
A direct link to a static HTML page is still displayed as suchm File-not-founds, access-denieds are thrown before the message is shown Possibly more scenario's exist that fail. My point is: for any serious updating work, app_offline.htm is not suitable. I sometimes create a redirect in IIS, to another site, but another site may not always be available and it can confuse users.
Ideally, I'd want to keep the current location in the url location bar of the end-user, show the message, and have the page auto-refresh each minute to see whether the site is back, so that the user continues where he left of when the site comes back. While technically easy enough with a static page, it will fail for the above mentioned reasons the minute an error is thrown.
I'm uploading xls file onto my server using ASP.NET VB. Should I take some precautions so that not one would upload some hacking script to hack my site using this upload?

I have a gridview with 3 nested dropdownlists in one cell on edit like this:To get the exact fields when the user clicks on edit I used the following code(yes it's messy)
[Code]....
The BLLOnderhoud is a class and the getReserveInfo is used to get the Model - Brand(merk) Information.Since the dropdownlists are nested in the gridview I can't call them directly and they can't call any of my functions.And this is the problem, when I change the dropdownfield Model the Auto field wich is the last dropdown(in the picture is a typo) should be binded like in the following code:
[Code]....
But the dropdownlist onDataBound event can't call any of my functions that are in my class.So my question is how can the onDataBound event of the second dropbox trigger a function? The only thing that the function has to do is to bind the 3rd dropdownlist

I am making an application that deals with vehicles. I need two DropDownLists:
Makes: All Vehicle Makes Models: Models that belong to the selected value of the Make DropDownList
How is this done in MVC2? My Idea: Do I use an ajax call when my first list is selected and then pull back the Models to bind to the Model DDL? How would model binding come into play that way? UPDATE I posted what I ended up doing as an answer. It is super simple and works great. You can use a get too if you feel so inclined, but you have to specify that you want to like so... return Json(citiesList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
I have a dropdownlist on my page with dates such as 1/1/2013, 2/1/2013, etc.
Then there is a second ddl.
If the date in ddl #1 is before 1/10/2013 I want to enable ddl #2. If the date in ddl #1 is on or after 1/10/2013 I want to either disable ddl #2 or hide it (whichever's easier).
Disabling ddl #2 based on the selected date is a new requirement so I am enhancing the existing code. Obviously I want to do this without a postback, but I don't know what is the best way. I am trying to understand what an AsyncPostBackTrigger is because this is the existing code:
