    Hi,

    Is that issue happening occasionally or all times?
    Because I face this kind of issue once and the issue was caused because of application pool reset each time.
    due to this my Authentication id get change each time and that throws the issue with the view state.

    If it is happening occasionally then that should be the application pool reset problem.
    For that we can follow two ways,

    @ We can disable ViewstateMac by putting this like

    ?enableViewStateMac='false'?

    in your web.config. But this approach was not so secured I feel.

    @ We can configure ASP.NET to not use Auto-Generated Key but rather a predefined key.

    Let us know if you are facing different level of issue.

    Thanks,
    Mani

    When we have lot of controls on the same page many times we face this issue of 'ViewStateException: Invalid viewstate'
    There are different solution for it, you need to try with following workarounds
    - Set the validationKey attribute if you are running in a Web farm
    - Do not store dynamically generated types in view state in a Web farm
    - set enableViewStateMac="false"
    - there also a message that state, You receive a "View state is invalid" error message when you use the Server.Transfer method
    - Another possibility is Forms authentication and view state fail intermittently under heavy load
    - Determine exactly what exception occurs when you receive the error message
