Dear Members.

After much discussion, the administrators of this group have come to the conclusion that the group would operate more effectively once a month. Our first meeting for 2010 will occur on Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Subsequent meetings going forward will occur on the second Wednesday of each month. We would like to hear what topics most interest you for the upcoming year. Please respond to this post with your comments so that we can assemble a list of the most common requested topics. Also indicate a speaker that you think would cover the suggested material best.

We look forward to the new year and hope all had a festive season.

 Topic: Error Validation of viewstate MAC failed

Anybody know why I'm getting this error on the recordings page?
 
Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a
Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies
the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot
be used in a cluster.
 
Most times I just ftp over the web.config and it fixes the issue.
 
Thanks
 
Zach

Are you on a cluster? Is there a reverse proxy between the IIS Server and
the web. Enabling the MAC is used as an extra security check (avoid
interception of a valid request and making malicious changes) if security
isn't an issue, you can just disable MAC.

Even better than that configure ASP.NET to use server side view state

 Topic: Van Update for 2010

zachariahyoung <zpy...@gmail.com> Jan 07 07:49PM -0800 ^

 
HI everyone,
 
I’m sending this email to let you know my thoughts about the future of
the VAN group and to solicit your input as well. I basically took the
busy month of December off from VAN, and I’d really like to get things
back rolling in this new year. I definitely want to continue to be
involved in this group, but like you, I’ve got a lot going on right
now. I feel like the group might be better served if there is an
individual(s) out there that can step up and do more of the
facilitating, so that I can move to a more support/background role.
If you’re concerned about the weekly meetings being too much work to
coordinate, my thought is maybe it would be better for us to meet just
once a month, or perhaps combine with another VAN group, so that the
work and organization could be further spread out. I guess depending
on how many people are interested in assisting with this would
determine how much work would actually fall on one person’s
shoulders. I definitely want this group to increase in number and
reach, and know that I cannot do that by myself, so I would greatly
appreciate any thoughts you might have on accomplishing that. You can
either email me directly, or post a reply.
 
Thanks,
 
Zach Young
