I try to add master page ajax html editor with namespace but I have this err: System.Web.HttpException: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>).

how to fix it? thanks for your answers.

Solution 1

I have faced this error before. Solution is, check in your master page, if you have javascript with <% ... %> block, then remove it from head and add in body section.

Hope it helps you.

Solution 2

Use This

1-Replace the code block with <%# instead of <%=

After replace code block with <%# instead of <%= add following code in page load

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.Header.DataBind();    
}

After add code run your application it will work for you.

Happy Coding………

Thank you - this was also my issue.

I altered:

 <script src="<%=Page.ResolveClientUrl(String.Format("~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1{0}.js", IIf(Bshifter4.MvcApplication.UseMinify, ".min", ".chirp")))%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
