ASP.NET Error Code

cusoxty · #1 (**permalink**) 06-08-04, 13:28

I am trying to run a site that I made and i keep receiving this error:

Control 'EmployeeID' of type 'DropDownList' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.

What do I have to do in order to make this page run?

I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Just put the "runat=server" attribute into your DropDownList tag

I don't know much .Net, but it seems, from the error, that the runat=server should be in the form tag, not the dropdown list tag. I could be wrong though...

The runat=server should be in all ASP.NET server controls.

I would say that the form needs that runat tag (due to the error message) however I would also advise that the drop down list needs it as well.
