Manually built gridview is getting Invalid postback or callback argument when ImageButton is used.

I have a gridview in a vb (framework 4.0) web form.
I am filling it manually in the code behind.

I am not overriding the EnableEventValidation.

when I include this in the gridview:

                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <!-- Edit Button -->
                           <asp:ImageButton  ID="imgEditDetail"  runat="server"
                               ImageUrl="~/images/edit.gif" ToolTip="Edit" CommandName="Edit" />
                    </ItemTemplate>

I get this when I click the edit button:
System.ArgumentException: Invalid postback or callback argument.  Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> 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.

However, when I use this, it works just fine.  (Note...the issue noted at the bottom of this is the same thing I am getting:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.configuration.pagessection.enableeventvalidation(VS.90).aspx)

                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <!-- Edit Button -->
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CommandName="Edit">Edit</asp:LinkButton>
                    </ItemTemplate>

I understand the importance of keeping the EnableEventValidation=True.  So I don't want to change that.

But how can I get this to work with my ImageButton?  

On the same page, I added another gridview, only this one is filled using an objectdatasource (that is hooked up to our n-tier layers).  When I throw an ImageButton on that gridview, it works just fine.  I am thinking it doesn't work with the other because something is recognizing the fact that the data is getting changed between the posts, so it might be getting sql injected?  so what is my work around please?   My ImageButton is more pretty to look at than a plain ole link button.

Also, when I do set EnableEventValidation=False, the error goes away, but then my gridview events don't seem to fire. (I have breakpoints set on my gridview events and when I click edit, I don't stop on the BP)

Thank you for helping me!
