Hello friends,

Server Error in Application.

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.

Hi,
Try this code..
Web config :
"false"enableEventValidation="false"viewStateEncryptionMode="Never"enableViewStateMac="false">
or
"SHA1"
validationKey="A1B2C3D4E5F6F6E5D4C3B2A1A1B2C3D4E5F6F6E5D4C3B2
A1A1B2C3D4E5F6F6E5D4C3B2A1A1B2C3D4E5F6F6E5D4C3B2A1
A1B2C3D4E5F6F6E5D4C3B2A1B2C3D4E5"
