Hi My proyect ASP VB.net consists in a MasterPage and WebForm.aspx

In the master page I have two controls, a textbox and a label. I needed to put them inside a tag to make them work.

In my .aspx I have more controls such as DropDownList, GridView, Buttons and some checkboxes.

Theese last ones won't work unless I put them inside a tag, but when I execute I recive "A page can have only one server-side Form tag." message.

I understand the message, so i take away the runat tag in my .aspx.

I also played a bit with Enable AutoPostBack property in the controls and also in the code.

Also I put in my .aspx behind code this VB code:

With this las code, the DropDownLists get filled with data, but when I selecet an item, the .aspx webpage seems to reload and the selection don't ocur.

Thanks for your time and help.

What I have tried:

VB
Public Overrides Sub VerifyRenderingInServerForm(ByVal control As Control)
        'Required to verify that the control is rendered properly on page
End Sub

VB
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not IsPostBack Then

            For i = 0 To Me.Controls.Count - 1
                VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Me.Controls.Item(i))
            Next
End Sub

As the error says, a WebForms page can only contain a single (visible) server-side form.

(Technically you can have more than one, so long as only one is visible at a time.)

If you have controls in both the master page and the content page which require a server-side form, then you need to ensure that the ContentPlacholder is wrapped in the form as well.

I wrapped the MasterPage in a tag.
in the content page I also tag. and the page loads ok.
But the problem of the content page control persists.

Read my answer again - you can only have ONE <form runat="server"> visible on the page at a time.

If you have controls in the master page and in the content pages which require a server form, then you have to wrap the master page controls and the ContentPlaceholder elements in a single server form in the master page. Do not add another server form in the content page.
