I would suspect there is some code in the master page that is causing the problem

thank you for your reply.I just donot know why this is happening. the only thing i have in the master page is horizontal menu, sitemappath and left side links. that is all i have. would that cause the problem? thanks again

I am not sure.. I ran the code and had no problem

jbenson001 as you suspect the problem was with the master page.the value for enableviewstate was false in the master page. I changed to true now it is fine.thank you for the help
