Mess table in GridView and run time error

Question

I want to create a table as below to interact with database to retrieve, delete, update data.

My output in design view is very messy. And when i try to run the page i receive the following error:

Control 'GridView1' of type 'GridView' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.

Please advise me for enhancement based on below data table and my coding.

User interface for table, label and button

.aspx:

<div class="modal-bg">
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" EnableEventValidation="false" 
BackColor="White" BorderColor="#3366CC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" 
CellPadding="4" Width="426px">
<Columns>

            <asp:TemplateField>
              <HeaderTemplate>
              UsernameLast Login  Status

                <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("EmailAddress") %>'></asp:Label>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <HeaderTemplate>
                Last Login  Status
                </HeaderTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Last Login  Status") %>'></asp:Label>
                </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<button id="newuserbutton" onclick="return newuserbutton_onclick()">
        Create New User</button>

Thank you for helps.

In ASPNet webforms - everything needs to run within a form tag. The runat="server" attribute indicates that the form should be processed on the server. It also indicates that the enclosed controls can be accessed by server scripts: — Sain Pradeep

Did you actually try to place your control inside the <form runat="server"></form> tags?
