I have no idea what is causing this error, if you need to see my code just let me know, its a MasterPage.master that is attached to my default.aspx.

This is the error I get in the browser:

Server Error in '/WebSite1' Application.

Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.

  • `Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.` You're misusing ``. – SLaks Jan 04 '13 at 16:04

Look for an unclosed tag, or an invalid closing of a tag in one of your server controls.

Content controls have to be top-level controls
