Building a Control Adapter for the CheckBox control.
Hello all!
I'm currently trying (and failing) to build a Control Adapter to modify how my CheckBox controls are rendered to the page. I don't like the way that by default they render inside a <span> tag. I'd like to change it so that they render inside a label tag.
The good news is: I've managed to make the control render how I'd like; The bad news is: I've completely broken its functionality.
I think the problem is that somehow I've stopped the ASP .NET engine recognising it.
I get the following error:
Server Error in '/Bens' 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.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: 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.
Does anybody know how I should approach this problem so that the control continues to function as a CheckBox despite my new rendering of it, please?
For anyone interested in helping me further, I enclose the (abridged) code for the control adapter below: Full code available on request.
Many thanks
Ben

For those interested, it was quite easy:
protected override void EndRender(HtmlTextWriter writer){
Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(Control.UniqueID);
base.EndRender(writer);}

Hi Ben,
I'm staring at the same problem with a radio button. I'd like to try your class with the registerForEvenrValidation fix on it. However, it doesn't compile since a couple of your methods are missing. I can comment them out, but I'm not sure it is working as it should. Any chance you'd share the whole thing?
