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

Greetings exports,
I am trying to use itextsharp to export HTML to PDF.
The markup clearly has a <FORM>...</FORM> tag.
However, when I clicked the Export button, I get the following error.
Control 'chksameAddr' of type 'CheckBox' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.
The chksameAddr checkbox has a runat="server" attribute as well, so does the Form tag.
I think (but not sure) that the issue is that even though the chksameAddr checkbox control is inside FORM that, because we are trying to export data that is with pnlContents Panel control, itextsharp code no longer recognizes the presence of a FORM tag.
Any ideas how to work around this issue?
Can I have more than one FORM tag in an asp.net MARKUP?
Thanks in advance.

Since I wasn't sold on the suggestions here, I googled and found a very simple solution that worked for me.
I added this:
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) { /* Verifies that the control is rendered */ }and it worked like a charm.

According to your description and except message, could you tell us which line code caused this issue?

Thank you Eric.
My apologies for the long code.
This is the sub:
protected void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Panel.pdf"); Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw); pnlContents.RenderControl(hw); StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString()); Document pdfDoc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 10f, 10f, 100f, 0f); HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc); PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream); pdfDoc.Open(); htmlparser.Parse(sr); pdfDoc.Close(); Response.Write(pdfDoc); Response.End(); }And the offending line of code is this:
pnlContents.RenderControl(hw);
Because we are only interested in exporting contents within the Panel control, somehow, the C# code got confused, I think, thinking there is no FORM tag associated with it.
Your first reference is a very good resource.
According to that solution, the form ID needed to be reference on codebehind.
So, since my form ID is msform, I tried referencing it like this:
msform.pnlContents.RenderControl(hw);
However, it get an error:
'HtmlForm' does not contain a definition for 'pnlContents' and no extension method 'pnlContents' accepting a first argument of type 'HtmlForm' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Any other way of referencing the form ID?

The error describes exactly the issue. The code is trying to render a section of the Web Form and that section does not have a Form server control.
You'll need to rethink the design. A few ideas...
- Create a web form dynamically, adding the panel to the dynamically created form, then rendering the form.
- Create a separate Web Form that has the content and layout that you're wanting. Invoke this new Web Form when the btnExport is clicked.
IMHO, a new web form is cleaner and easier to control but probably more work.

Since I wasn't sold on the suggestions here, I googled and found a very simple solution that worked for me.
I added this:
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) { /* Verifies that the control is rendered */ }and it worked like a charm.
