CONTROL must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server

Im trying to create a web application and I added a CreateUserWizard control. When I added this control and ran the application, I got this error (listed below) when I tried to open the page. I added a < form runat = "server" > tag and I got another error saying "A page can only have one server side form tag"

Can some one please help???

Add this to your Form.Aspx.Cs //public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) //{ // // Confirms that an HtmlForm control is rendered for the // // specified ASP.NET server control at run time. // // No code required here. //} Tha's all you have to do

Hi, The control you are using has to be inside a form tag which has to be run at server i.e may be the place where you are using the control would not be having a form tag.
