I am trying to create a simple user control that is a slider. When I add a AjaxToolkit SliderExtender to the user control I get this (*&$#()@# error:
Server Error in '/' Application. The
Controls collection cannot be modified
because the control contains code
blocks (i.e. <% ... %). Description:

I have tried putting a placeholder in the user control and adding the textbox and slider extender to the placeholder programmatically and I still get the error.
Here is the simple code:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<asp:Label ID="lblMaxValue" runat="server" Text="Maximum" CssClass="float_right" />
<asp:Label ID="lblMinValue" runat="server" Text="Minimum" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:60%;">
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkOn" runat="server" /><asp:Label ID="lblPrefix" runat="server" />: <asp:Label ID="lblSliderValue" runat="server" /> <asp:Label ID="lblSuffix" runat="server" />
</td>
<td style="text-align:right;width:40%;">
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSlider" runat="server" Text="50" style="display:none;" />
<ajaxToolkit:SliderExtender ID="seSlider" runat="server"
BehaviorID="seSlider"
TargetControlID="txtSlider"
BoundControlID="lblSliderValue"
Orientation="Horizontal"
EnableHandleAnimation="true"
Length="200"
Minimum="0"
Maximum="100"
Steps="1" />
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
What is the problem?
Thanks in advance.
