Master pages - A page can have only one server-side Form tag.

[Karthik]

I am converting all my asp.net pages to asp.net 2.0 for supporting
master pages.

I get the following error in runtime.



A page can have only one server-side Form tag.

your help is highly appreciated

And how many forms do your pages actually have? Do you by any chance
have one on the master page and one in the actual pages?

Hi jon,

Thanks for your response.

I have two pages, one master page and another page which uses the
master page.
i have <form runat = "server"> tag in my derived page. because of this
i got this error.
i tried removing the form tag, but it didn't work. it gives the same
error.
Is there any other way to convert these pages.

Please post a sample master page, and a sample content page, as simple
as possible, that still gives you the error.

Karthik,
You cannot have a form with runat=server in a Page that uses a MasterPage.
You should only have asp:Content placeholders. No HTML, no BODY, etc.

Also, not to sound like a broken MP3 but this is really an ASP.NET group
question, not a C# language group one.
