I have been struggling with this issue for some time, hope someone here can help out.
After facing the issue (will describe it soon) in a solution with Ajax and a Master Page I decided to try it in its most basic form: I created a new project, new aspx page with a GridView.
I notice that once I create the new page the body contains a <form runat="server"> tag.
I add a GridView, data comes from SQL server. I want to be able to render the GridView to HTML - in order to create a Print Preview page, containing, among other things, the grid view data. So basically I have
<body>
<form runat="server">
<asp:GridView > ... .. . .. . .</asp:GridView>
<asp:Button> ............... </asp:Button>
</form>
</body>
When I try to do RenderControl in the Button Click event I get an exception saying that the GridView must be placed in a <form runat="server"> tag.
When I try to wrap it inside this tag (i.e. <form runat="server"> <asp:GridView>. ...) I get an exception saying that the page can only have one server-side form tags.
Please help me out.
