I'm not sure whether I could help anyway because I don't use Web Forms but you've made it very hard to help by posting hard to read code. Make sure to copy and paste directly so as to retain indenting, which is critical to readability. Also, post ASPX and C# code separately. Put only code within the code formatting tags and post the C# code like this:

[xcode=c#]your code here[/xcode]
