类型为'TextBox'的控件'ctl00_txtDebug'必须放置在带有runat = server的表单标记中

Question

I am trying to render a ascx control as a view in MVC and I am getting the following error

Control 'ctl00_txtDebug' of type 'TextBox' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.

The debugger stops on this line in the ascx control

function dtpaging_Page_Selected(vPageNumber) {
    document.getElementById("<%=mControlName %>txtPageNumber").value = vPageNumber
    <%=Post_Method %>
}

So I am thinking that my method is working to get the control and begin the rendering. Why would it throw this error? I can attach more code if needed

Answer 1

I found the answer to this question. I have to contain the entire ascx page in the <form runat="server">.....</form> tags. It really was that simple
