Code>>>> State and County work. When you select County and it posts back , is where you get the error..

Hi scstevelong,
You can try the following solutions to solve your issue.
1. Disable eventvalidation (you lose a little of security).
2. Use ASP.NET Ajax UpdatePanel. The following link shows how to build cascade dropdownlist with updatepanel, please take it as reference.
http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Implement-AJAX-CascadingDropdown-without-Web-Service-in-ASPNet.aspx
About why you get such error, you can refer here : https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/amitsh/2007/07/31/why-do-i-get-invalid-postback-or-callback-argument-errors/
Best Regards,
Jean
