Solving “Only Content controls are allowed directly in a content page that contains Content controls”

By admin | February 3, 2012

While debugging and creating a new ASP.NET User Control, I stumbled across the following error, “Only Content controls are allowed directly in a content page that contains Content controls” that I did not encounter before. The culprit: an invalid assembly in the custom ASP.NET User Control registration section of “web.config“:

The first thing I tried, is, of course, to follow the advice on the can and remove any tag or text other than “<asp:Content>” tags from the page. But as, you can see, there are no other characters or tags on the page, and I had tried many times to regenerate the page or force VS to “re-parse” the page without success.

After some more debugging for a while, I found this error, which was related to an invalid assembly in the registering custom ASP.NET User Controls section of the web.config document:

Found another error

Found another error

And the answer? It turns out it was easy enough to fix after all, just fix the offending assembly reference!
