according to example on page 126 (wrox: Beginning ASP.NET using VB.NET) I use in firstpage.aspx the formtag <form action="nextpage.aspx" method="post">.
Unfortunately this causes an error message like "runat is missing in the formtag".
When I alter the formtag into <form action="nextpage.aspx" runat="server"> and in the same time put the script from nextpage.aspx into firstpage.aspx, everything works as I expect:
all data are displayed in firstpage.aspx. I don't understand why the way to display the data in nextpage.aspx is not functioning, although it is quite clearly discribed in the book.
Who can give me some advice.
thanks
Ernst

sorry I've dropped into the wrong forum, try again in books

You are in the correct forum.

Both pages need to have runat="server" in the form tag.
