The reason for this error is that your having more than one FORM tag in your aspx page with run at server attribute, which ASP.Net does not allow. You can have only one form tag in your aspx page with run at server attribute. So keep only one form tag in user aspx page to avoid this error.

If you run below aspx page you will get same error as it got two server form tag.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    
    </div>
    </form>
     <form id="form2" runat="server">
     </form>
</body>
</html>

Solution 2

yes if you have two forms in one page then it will throw error or if you must need ur two froms then you have to remove runat="server" this is same in master page also you put from tag in master page nd then also in .aspx page then there will be error definitely (:)

Solution 3

there are more than 1 forms tag in your page. Check them and remove the extra form element. Hopefully it will fix the issue.
