I realize that ASP.NET is only designed to support a single form. What I am confused about is what is the appropriate method for coding multiple “forms” on a .NET page (I have a login form at the top of the page, via the Site.Master and other forms will appear on any given page). Am I supposed to respond differently? It doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. I would appreciate it if someone could clarify. Thanks.

P.S. I am currently developing on .NET 2.0 although I plan to move to .NET 3.5 soon.

    Nearly all ASP.NET Web Forms post back to the same page. Unless you are working on some strange outlier (which your question doesn’t indicate), you just use one form tag around the entire document, and use event hookups to your controls to handle the various instances.

    For example, you can have three buttons that act as Submit buttons, one for each “form” but all inside that same form tag, and each one will call its respective event. This behavior is standard and handled by ASP.NET for you; all you have to do is write the event handlers and wire them up.
