Hi all experts,
I am going nuts with this Invalid postback or callback argument thingy
with .Net 2.0
I am building a file attachment module which relays on a Datatable
stored in session (yeah i know its unhealthy, but its the only "clean"
approach which I can think of to avoid tranfering temp files onto the
server) to maintain the list of attached files before the "commit"
action is done to transfer all the files onto the server.
I have a function which allows the user to delete the attached file
before the "commit" action is performed. Essentially, the "delete" is
deleting a row from the Datatable stored in session. When I was doing
testing of this code in the early phase, all works well, but suddenly a
few days later, when I improved the codes to incorporate other
functions, whenever I click on the "delete" button (which is a template
column with an image button that triggers a "RowCommand" to handle the
deletion) i will hit the Invalid postback error. I have since removed
those new codes but I am still stuck with the problem.
Someone help me please! I am totally clueless as how to resolve this
issue. I have tried to turn off the EnableEventValidation at the page
level, but when I do so, my "RowCommand" event is not being triggered
(it works fine if i turn on the validation). You guys see the
fustration I am facing here?
Would really really be glad if someone could help me. I have attached
my codes below so you guys can help me take a look. Do let me know if
you need more information.

By the way, the above codes are in a UserControl and the control is
place inside a plain aspx page.
