invalid length for a Base-64 char array error

[IjumpOverU]

I get this error when trying to run the page on a windows mobile device. I did some research and it seems to say that I will get this error if my viewstate exceeds 2k. This probably does occur since I am using drop down controls.

Is there any way to avoid this or manually manipulate the view state so that I can get rid of this error??

Thanks for all and any help.

Just another note, this only occurs when I reload the page with my second drop down populated. The inital load of the page works fine.

Do you need to have the viewstate? If not you can turn it off. e.g.

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="Page1.aspx.vb" Inherits="MyTest.Page1" EnableViewState="false" %>

That was a thought but I need the view state so that my page will remeber the first drop down selection and populate the second drop down with related data.
