Only Content controls are allowed directly in a content page that contains Content controls

Question

 

Hello

 

FYi I am using SPD.

 

I saved dispform.aspx with the new name dispform1.aspx. Then I did some modification in the pages, everything was correctly. After some time I re-open new page using SPD, I am  not able to open the page in design/code mode. It is not giving me any error only showing message in status bar retrieving dispform1.aspx. I wait almost 1 hours, but no luck.

 

When I try to run this new page I am getting following error

"Only Content controls are allowed directly in a content page that contains Content controls"

 

Earlier it was working and I have not made any changes.

 

I need to recover it, as I did customize the whole page, please advise

Answer 1

You probably accidently have some markup outside of the <asp:Content controls. Open your page back up and ensure that all code except the <%@ directives are within an <asp:Content block.
