Error Rendering Control - WebUserControl, An unhandled exception has occurred

What can be wrong with my code? The visual studio doesn't get any warnings or error.

ASP.NET, Error Rendering Control - WebUserControl, An unhandled exception has occurred.

    {
        // Specify the path on the server to
        // save the uploaded file to.
        String savePath = @"c:\temp\uploads\";

        // Before attempting to perform operations
        // on the file, verify that the FileUpload 
        // control contains a file.
        if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
        {
            // Get the name of the file to upload.
            String fileName = FileUpload1.FileName;

            // Append the name of the file to upload to the path.

A usercontrol is embedded in the contents of a page, thus it shouldn't have a head section. only your actual page should have a header.

It also should not have any of the other document sections either including html, body, etc.

Why do you have a full HTML structure for a UserControl? You're inserting a full HTML document within another one whenever you use this control in another page. Only include the html needed to render your control...not a whole page

EDIT .. guess the way I phrased that would have made more sense as a comment rather than an answer. So... to answer the question.... Your control has a full html structure in it, so when it's used in a Webforms page, you have the framework trying to insert an entire html structure within another.

Only put as much html as you need to render the control in your .ascx....not an entire html structure

You should replace your declaration to :

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="WebUserControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebUserControl" %>

Or you you really meant it to be a custom control you should get rid of the html and head tags.
