Hi.
I was trying an application on ASP.NET 4.0 using DataGrid with 2 data columns and 2 columns bearing "Edit/Update/Cancel" and "Add/Delete" button. The grid is populating nicely but as I am clicking on Add or Edit button, I am getting the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------
Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 tried many forums and problem solving sites but could not find a proper satisfying solution in the form of implementation. If anyone could help me out of this problem. it would be great.
the page is designed as under:
