There are two mistakes in Chapter 31, Using Server-Side ASP.NET AJAX, both related to a last minute change to the ListView control. Microsoft changed the ListView control to require an itemPlaceholder instead of an itemContainer element in its LayoutTemplate. I managed to update the other code samples related to the ListView control in the book, but I neglected to update Chapter 31 (I forgot that I used the ListView control in this chapter).
The correct code for Listing 31.6 is:
1: <%@ Page Language="C#" %>

Notice that I also updated the way that the current time is displayed for this code sample. I changed:
Inner UpdatePanel Time: <%= DateTime.Now.ToString("T") %>
To:
Inner UpdatePanel Time: <%# DateTime.Now.ToString("T") %>

Thank you Nikolay for pointing out these errors.
