DropDownList MasterPage Error Navigate To URL erro help.

[tasmontique]

I hope someone can help me. I have an error that I can not seem to figure out. All I need is an unbound dropdownlist to navigate to urls withing the website. I have gotten as far as to populate field but I am stuck at this point. I am new to asp.net and this is my first website.

Below is my code please help.

Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the error

HttpException (0x80004005): Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.] System.Web.UI.MasterPage.CreateMaster(TemplateCont rol owner, HttpContext context, VirtualPath masterPageFile, IDictionary contentTemplateCollection) +533 System.Web.UI.Page.get_Master() +49 System.Web.UI.Page.ApplyMasterPage() +17 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +1368
This error seems to indicate that the way I have placed the code is incorrect but I am unsure how to format it correctly.

Here is the code below
<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage2.master" AutoEventWireup="true" Title="Welcome Guest"%>
<script language="VB" script runat="server">

Dim myLocations As New ListItemCollection()

' Add items to the collection
myLocations.Add(New ListItem("Where do you want to go?", Request.ServerVariables("URL")))
myLocations.Add(New ListItem("Request Membership", "http://www.url.com/CreateAccount.aspx"))
myLocations.Add(New ListItem("FAQS"))


' Databind our DDL to the ListItemCollection we just filled
ddlLocations.DataSource = myLocations
ddlLocations.DataTextField = "Text"
ddlLocations.DataValueField = "Value"
ddlLocations.DataBind()
End If

' Find out current auto-navigation status and add JS to handle it if needed.
If Request.QueryString("auto") = "True" Then
blnAutoNav = True

' This adds the javascript to automatically redirect to the selected
' location whenever a new item is selected in the dropdownlist.
ddlLocations.Attributes("onchange") = "javascript:window.location = " _
& "document.frmNav.ddlLocations[document.frmNav.ddlLocations.selectedIndex].value;"
Else
blnAutoNav = False
End If

' Add the link to this page that toggles the autonav to

litAutoNavLink.Text = "<a href=""" & Request.ServerVariables("URL") _
& "?auto=" & CStr(Not (blnAutoNav)) & """>Toggle Auto Navigation</a>"
End Sub

Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Response.Redirect(ddlLocations.SelectedItem.Value)
