RegisterForEven tValidation can only be called during Render()"

I don't understand what's going on here. Would someone help me
understand this better.

So in asp.net I have something like this below (vb version):
'---------------------- this part is in the partial page class

Protected Sub snTBx_Load(ByVa l sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s)
sender.Text = Me.MakeRandom()
End Sub

'---------------------- (the asp page)
<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" CssClass="signu ptable" runat="server"
DataKeyNames="I D" DataSourceID="S qlDSource"
OnPageIndexChan ging="FormView1 _PageIndexChang ing"
OnInserting="Fo rmView1_ItemIns erting" DefaultMode="In sert"
Width="288px" Height="251px" CellPadding="10 ">
<InsertItemTemp late>
<span class="signupla bel">name:</span><br />
<asp:TextBox ID="nTBx" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("name") %>' Width="250px"
AutoCompleteTyp e="FirstName" ></asp:TextBox><br />
<span class="signupla bel">email:</span><br />
<asp:TextBox ID="eTBx" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("email") %>' Width="250px"
AutoCompleteTyp e="Email"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:TextBox ID="snTBx" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("srnumbr") %>' Visible="False" Height="0px"
OnLoad="snTBx_L oad"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="InsertButto n" runat="server"
CausesValidatio n="true" CommandName="Se lect" Text="Sign me up"
UseSubmitBehavi or="false" OnClick="Insert Button_Click" />
</InsertItemTempl ate>
</asp:FormView>

So I decided to convert that to c#. Everything started working well
until the sender. Anyhow this is how the above converts over to c#

//---------------------- the partial page class
protected void snTBx_Load(obje ct sender, EventArgs e){
sender.Text = this.MakeRandom ();
}
//---------------------- (the asp page)

<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" CssClass="signu ptable" runat="server"
DataKeyNames="I D" DataSourceID="S qlDSource" DefaultMode="In sert"
Width="288px" Height="251px" CellPadding="10 ">
<InsertItemTemp late>
<span class="signupla bel">name:</span><br />
<asp:TextBox ID="nTBx" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("name") %>' Width="250px"
AutoCompleteTyp e="FirstName" ></asp:TextBox><br />
<span class="signupla bel">email:</span><br />
<asp:TextBox ID="eTBx" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("email") %>' Width="250px"
AutoCompleteTyp e="Email"></asp:TextBox<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="snTBx" runat="server" Text='<%#
Bind("srnumbr") %>' Visible="true" Height="10px"
OnLoad="snTBx_L oad">sadfasdfsa </asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="InsertButto n" runat="server"
CausesValidatio n="true" CommandName="Se lect" Text="Sign me up"
UseSubmitBehavi or="false" OnClick="Insert Button_Click" />
</InsertItemTempl ate>
</asp:FormView>
Again it seems that the sender doesn't allow for the text property,
so I thought I could try to page load the information, but I can't
seem to reference it through intellisense. How do you get the items
in the insertitemtempl ate?

Thanks in advance for all your help,
