Asp.Net 2.0 Bug

My testers getting this exception 1% of the time they click button on the
page. This happens in both IE6.0 and FireFox1.5. Any ideas?

It's not a bug as such it's more of a result of the way ASP.net is designed.
It happens when you are using validation controls and a users initiates a
postback that causes validation before the page has finished rendering. It
is to do with the way that validation makes sure that the form being
submitted is the correct form, i think you can turn it off though but there
are security impications. I will look up more details for you.

the error mean the value posted by the browser for the dropdown, was not one
of the values rendered for the dropdown (the legal list is stored in
viewstate). one way this happens (alluded to in the error) is if
clientscript changes the dropdownlist.

It is as i mentioned, also caused by submittting the form befoer the page has
finished rendering, which is often why it seems to only occur intermittantly.

Right more details ...

what i think is causing your problem as i said is users submitting the form
before the page has finished rendering. If you look in the page source you
will see a line like this

<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION"
value="vWAR/uYD2Ch7zyqe3iUJ9Ps4gQl9v0pxb9gocy9ysCsZSyhqM3p7A8S I2peXQ2H1sGC2ol7HqO7WBOgncF4Tfsada7jCpBiWABu9GXW7a T22juKw/reGyery5NTuafw7BUAYot3S3W2bWTSQ6Ir4pRdMYBznitC6S2L KrgxfgMJrJm2fxE3G3T8xMcTz2qGcjzKzZGf2KL8KrTFN47Pkw NJT9o72dnrAMbZCFK84NgUuQkQde5qDktc+xXewvSvr+XgrprC SNzCnaAff4btDoLTXWY/LyK6bxkK3YbKA7RGxc80tENdIgTejDFPNGp6XWxRlKPvaKPJlB xWP/jrq923PgNdXNmztefHG/tfyTDVbWvvxABo/QBuq3Dp/FY/789/TZFrAvzLVwvZTc440t/82QhV/6iiBfrXsSyP84Fo=" />

This is what the validator uses to make sure that the the controlls being
submitted are from the correct form and it renders after all the other
controls, if your use submits the form before this has rendered, then you
will get the error you are experiencing. This is why it seems to happen
ocaisionally in testing.

Thank your resopnse. To me, this kind of behaviour constitutes a bug in
Asp.Net 2.0. It should never crash on user. Anyway, I will disable this
validation and wait for Asp.Net Team to come up with some sort of fix to
handle this more gracefully.

Thanks again.
