Hi jk121960,

Please refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tom/archive/2008/03/14/validation-of-viewstate-mac-failed-error.aspx, it should fix your error.

Sorry I should have stated this before but I am using MVC not webforms, but I did set these items in the webconfig pages section and still no joy, we are not using a web farm but we are using a professionally hosted dedicated server and the IT has made sure that all the keys are set right. This error comes up in a dialog during upload of the file bfore I post so during the ajax portion. Strangly it was working fine for quite a while.

Any help is appreciated 

thanks  

Hi jk121960,

Do you get the same problem with the default demo pages of the download package?

Is your site online? If so, can you post your uploader page url and the full steps to reproduce this issue? So we can check it too.

Or send to [email protected]

Hi and thanks, I got this problewm solved by a local machine key not even the IIS one, but now the file size which worked fine is now on the fritz, I just for a filure on a 50 MG file, I have set max request in webconfig to max size 2GB, I have set IIS Request filtering to max 2GB, I have removed the entery from the machine.config. I even found the appsettings entries for the upload module which i added and set to 2GB, I have no idea at this point what the problem is. I have never had this probelm with uploads before.

Many thanks for any  help

I found a setting in the upload handler and I also set that to 2 GB, I am still getting the following error

Hi jk121960,

Just list the large file upload settings below, please check it and ensure that you have set all of them correct. 

1. maxRequestLength in web.config

 <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="value"/> 

2. maxAllowedContentLength in IIS

Edit the request filtering feature settings and the request limits using IIS manager

1. )Open IIS Manager.
2. Select the website that you want to configure.
3. Make sure you are in Features View per the button at the bottom of the manager.
4. Select Requests Filtering and open it by double-clicking the icon. The Request Filtering pane displays.
5. From the Actions pane on the right hand side of the screen click Edit Feature Settings... link. The Edit Request Filtering Settings window displays.
6. In the Request Limits section, enter the appropriate Maximum allowed content length (Bytes) and then click the OK button.
7. Restart IIS.

3. Do not set property "MaxSizeKB" for the uploader control. 

4. Set property "TempDirectory" for the uploader control. This property needs to set in the controller and the handler both and set to the same value.

Create an folder under your site root and set it for property "TempDirectory". 

controller code

The IIS stuff I already had, I did set maxkb on the uploader and I had set the temp but only in the controller and that casued a problem, so I backed itout. But I will try that noww on both and take the value off the maxkb and let you know, thanks very much
