Re: Overloading security check on dropdown, is it possible??

Create a Custom Control that inherits DropDownList and leave off the
[SupportsEventValidation]
attribute from the class.

Use that control rather than DropDownList and you will effectively disable
event validation for a single control on your page. Everything else will
function as normal.

Yeah, I know I can disable the EnableEventValidation, but the I'd have to
check everything myself, I'd prefer to only check the stuff I know could be
changed from JScript....

Hi,
i guess you are getting an ArgumentException?

you can disable that check by setting EnableEventValidation=false on the
page - but then - you have to thoroughly verify every single postback.

Hi

I'm trying to populate a dropdown list on a page, with the result from
an
AJAX request, however, because my dropdown is runat="server" I get a
security error when posting back my page.
I guess that makes sence since a hacker could attemt to compromise the
webserver this way, however in my situation it's a bit of a
problem.....
Is there a way to make the security check my self, so that I can
determine whether the data is OK or not??

TIA

Søren
