Is that all of your code?
You need a page declaration, something like:
<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="startmenu.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="ProjectName.startmenu" %>
Also need <HTML> and <BODY> Tags.

And, for the most, become much more the better
For being a little bad.

If not using Codebehind declaration might be
<%@ Page language="c#" %>

Above for C# by the way

that was just part of my codes...these are my page declaration:
<%@ Page Language="VB" Codebehind="startmenu.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="Proj.startmenu"%>
<%@ Import namespace="ADODB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDB" %>

I also had the <HTML> and <BODY> tags....but i still have the same error msg....

thanks.

Sorry,
I didn't read you code very carefully.
Things like: text=Response.write("USR")
Are not allowed in ASP.NET, Actually that would not have got you very far in Classic asp, but never mind that.

Read this: http://ryangregg.com/archive/2004/04/22/792.aspx

The format for html Server includes is <%# variableName%>.
But hte variable must be part of your Server side code.

Actually, may not need the #, I tend to do this sort of thing in code behind.
Another good link to look at is.
