I am trying to add a double-click event in a listbox.

But I am getting the following error.

the aspx file

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ListBox__Test.aspx.cs" Inherits="DataBind__Various_Controls.ListBox__Test" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>    
        <asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server" Height="207px" Width="167px" AutoPostBack="True">
        </asp:ListBox>
    </div>

    <div>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
        <br />
        <asp:Button ID="btnForListBoxDoubleClick" runat="server" Text="Button" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

the cs file

namespace DataBind__Various_Controls
{
    public partial class ListBox__Test : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                string postbackRef = ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(btnForListBoxDoubleClick, "dblClickfromHiddenButton"); //this.Page.GetPostBackClientEvent(btnForListBoxDoubleClick, "dblClickfromHiddenButton");
                ListBox1.Attributes.Add("onclick", postbackRef);                                
            }
        }

        private void btnForListBoxDoubleClick_ServerClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            string argument = Request.Params["__EVENTARGUMENT"].Trim();

            if (argument == "dblClickfromHiddenButton")
            {
                this.Label1.Text = "Hello!";
            }
        }
    }
}

How can I solve the problem?

A: 

There are two ways you can get rid of the error

1. Disable Event Validation

This is straightforward and all you need to do is set EnableEventValidation="false" in the page directive.

<%@ Page Language="C#" EnableEventValidation="false" EnableAutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ListBox__Test.aspx.cs" Inherits="DataBind__Various_Controls.ListBox__Test" %>

It is however not recommended by Microsoft (It is strongly recommended that you do not disable event validation. If you do disable event validation, make sure that no postback could be constructed that could have an unintended effect on your application.)

2. Register Your Event

You can register your client script by overriding the Render method. Note that "Render" is the only place you are allowed to do this.

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
    Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation("btnForListBoxDoubleClick",  
                                                            "dblClickfromHiddenButton");
}

This should get rid of the EnableEventValidation error without having to disable event validation.

Hope this helps !

*As a side note, I am not sure how you are hooking up the event handler btnForListBoxDoubleClick_ServerClick in your page. How is this event going to be triggered ?*
