The method is on the page.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/system.web.ui.page.verifyrenderinginserverform.aspx

Just override it with an empty method body, for example:

public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) { }

The default base implementation throws an exception if the control is not within the server form. This override prevents that behaviour.

Thanks for watching the video!

You note that not being able to use some server controls is a drawback. Many of them do actually work outside of your server form, with a simple tweak.

A good example is the DropDownList control. It’s a very useful control, even in client forms, because you can data bind the items collection and the selected value easily.

To allow it to render, you need to add a simple override in your page:

protected override VerifyRenderingInSearchForm(Control control)
{
return true;
}

This will then allow you to place those controls anywhere in your markup.

Hope that helps,
