[SOLVED] Control type 'GridView' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.

If u ever get this error

"Control type 'GridView' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server." 

while rendering control to string Or to get innerHTML in "DIV" from a server side.
Just paste this code in your Code Behind

public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) {}

The Explanation : 

Asp.net calls VerifyRenderingInServerForm to ensure that every single server control is being rendered inside a <form runat="server"> tag. Which makes sense for a web page . We just want to send the Gridview contents to the client and not the Form tag.
