There are several posts on here with similar titles, but none that I have found actually exhibit the same behavior I'm seeing. I'm using buttons with MultiView as my navigation to give the appearance of tabs. The page loads, no problem. I can switch tabs, no problem. The issue I'm having occurs only when I press a different navigation button while a gridview is actively loading. If I wait for the gridview to fully load, I get no errors.
The full error I'm receiving is: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using 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.
If I add the following, it does resolve my issue. However, I'm trying to avoid this if at all possible.
<%@ Page ... EnableEventValidation = "false" />
