Created a form in which the user selects a item from a dropdownlist then clicks a button which in turn uses a streamwriter to open a sequential file and displays the data associated with their selection, this is a text file. When I run the solution I get this error control 'btnSubmit' of type 'Button' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server. I have no idea how to fix this I need help. Below is all my code:
