Comment out the code section by section until you narrow it down. We can't tell from the made up code that you have shown us.

Why don't you store the viewstate value in a var and use it?
Check the braces you must have missed to close one.
What is very big code in the if btw ?

The wavy braces match so that is not the problem. You do have an unmatched "%>" at the end. Otherwise, I would check that the "very big code" is correct.

When asking for help, there is a useful skill: giving useful information.

If you look carefully, you will see that the compiler also tells you where it found the error.

Update the question and put a comment in code to show where the compiler complain.

Hi guys, thanks for the useful suggestions. But today when I closed and started VS 2010 the errors were gone and the issue got resolved.
