Question

I’m working on a form with a cs codebehind file. In my aspx page, I have this field:

<input runat="server" id="emailField" name="email" placeholder="[e-mail]" type="email"  required="required"/>

but when I try to reference it in my codebehind, my codebehind doesn’t seem to recognize that it exists; I just get a syntax error. It’s happening on all my other form fields too. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try the following:

1 – Check to make sure your “form fields” have an id and
runat="server" attributes.

2 – Make sure there aren’t any compilation errors. If there are fix
them so Visual Studio can generate the designer file necessary for intellisense.
