sharepoint "security validation invalid"

  Asked By: Brenda Gibson         Date: Jan 01, 2010      Category: Sharepoint      Views: 313
 

I wrote some code with the SDK and tried to test the SDK programming
example "Uploading a file to sp from a local folder".
When I try to upload a file to a sharepoint site (using the SDK
code), I receive following error:
"The security validation for this object is invalid". I checked
security settings and I am logged in a administrator, so this should
not be the problem. I also registered the FormDigest correctly,
because the problem only arises when I try to upload to sites
(e.g. "http://localhost/sites/uploadsite/shared documents/file.txt").
If I upload to a portal area
(e.g. "http://localhost/uploadarea/doclibrary/file.txt") is works
perfectly fine.

Did enybody experience the same problem? Would appreciate some help
here!

I have run this sample and uploaded to both SPS document libraries
and WSS document libraries.

You need to make sure that you have the webform running in the right
context.

To upload  to a SPS document library you should be using
http://server/_layouts/uploadfile/webform1.aspx

To upload to a WSS document library you need to run the webform
under the site, example is
http://server/sites/sitename/_layouts/uploadfile/webform1.aspx
