I am a reader of "Beginning ASP.NET using C#".
In my code,here it goes like this:
   "<asp:textbox id="textbox1 " />"
But I got an error message saying:
   "textbox" should be contained in a form having the property"runat=server".

As we know ,however,when we post to another page with :
"<form action="responsepage.aspx" method="post" >
  other codes
</form>"
 it is wrong to add the property"runat=server".

So,It really puzzled me.
Is there something wrong with my .NET Framework? (its edition is 1.1.4322.573)
By the way ,my IIS is OK,because I successfully tried many asp webs.
I need YOUR HELP ASAP!! Thanks very much!!

No, the textbox and form must have runat="server", as you stated. You can't post data to another form; that is coming in .NET 2. For the meantime, you can look at alternatives for posting to another page.

Thanks very much for replying!!

Yes ,We cann't post data to anthor form ,I do post data to anothor page:
"<form action="responsepage.aspx" method="post" >

 <asp:textbox id="textbox1" runat="server"/>

</form>"

Just as what is shown above,the code dosn't work.
The problem is even the code in the book Beginning ASP.NET using C# don't work here.

How to solve the problem?

That's what I'm saying, you can't directly post to another form in ASP.NET 1.1. However, there are tricks to getting around that, that require a little more work.

It will be coming in ASP.NET 2.

He might not understand that when you say 'form' you are referring to another aspx page.

Right, I should have said that instead. I mean another ASP.NET page. Sorry.

Thanks a lot!!

I have catched your meaning!

I have the same problem...
I'm using visual studio 2005....
and asp.net 2.0

how come it doesnt work??? I can't get the other aspx page to load after I hit submit

In 2003 someone had the same issue http://p2p.wrox.com/archive/aspx_beg...2002-04/49.asp
and the solutions are not applicable... it seems obvious but (at least for me being a newbie) it's not

any help??
