Good afternoon,
I am writing a web application using visual web developer and while trying to create a dynamic dropdown using the SqlDataSource i am getting these errors when i try to correct either one:
'SqlDataSource1_Selecting' is not a member of 'ASP.testdirectortest_aspx

and

Control 'DropDownList1' of type 'DropDownList' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.

Anyone ever seen this before?
Here is the code i am trying to use:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:test1ConnectionString %>"
              OnSelecting="SqlDataSource1_Selecting" SelectCommand="SELECT [TEST_FACILITY] FROM [Test_Facility_Data]">
          </asp:SqlDataSource>
          <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"
              DataTextField="TEST_FACILITY" DataValueField="TEST_FACILITY" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedInde xChanged1">
          </asp:DropDownList>

thanks

Are you creating the control dynamically? Normally I would get this error when I created a control dynamically without adding it specifically to Form.Controls() collection...

Yes,
I just went to the place in my web where i would like the dropdown menu to be, then added and configured the Data Source. once i went to view it in the browser, those were the errors i received.
