To be honest, I'm not even sure where the error came from. I'm running Visual Studio 2008 through the Virtual Server. I just put a button:

<asp:Button ID="btnRegister" runat="server" Text="Register" 
                            CssClass="bt_register" onclick="btnRegister_Click" />

On a login user control, the onclick event is just a simple response.redirect

Response.Redirect("~/register.aspx");

Debugging the project, it isn't even hitting the btnRegister_Click method anyway. I'm not sure where to even begin with debugging this error. Any information will help. I can post all the code I have, but like I said, I'm not sure where this error is even being thrown at.

Edit

It has nothing at all to do with the button click event. I got rid of the method and the onclick parameter on the aspx page. Still coming up with the same error

problem found

Okay so this is for a school project and its a group project. Some one in my group thought it would be a good idea to wrap a form tag around this area telling it to post. Found it doing a diff with a revision on Google code.

Answer 1

Are you rewriting URLs? it seems that there are problems with the url rewriting.

http://www.lukemelia.com/blog/archives/2007/01/05/aspnet-the-http-verb-post-used-to-access-path-is-not-allowed/

You have to remove the mapping of ‘*’ to aspnet_isapi.dll in yourIIS settings.

Answer 2

While a Canvas URL value has to end in "/", the Tabl URL can be a fully qualified page (e.g. http://[DOMAIN/DIRECTORY-PATH]/Default.aspx).

I'm working locally, so http://localhost:4604/Main/Default.aspx worked for me.
