Hi,

I was trying to load a user control using a smartpart and the following error showed up:

SharePoint 2007 - This page allows a limit of 200 controls, and that limit has been exceeded.

Please let me know, if anyone has encountered same error.

Thnks,

The obvious question is do you have more than 200 controls? Perhaps you have been playing around a lot with the layout of the page and just closed the web parts rather than deleting them?

I am having the same problem. Is there a setting I need to correct somewhere. I can't imagine a simple form and two data views being more than 200 controls!

We had a setting in web.config for the maximum no of controls on the page. I had to bump up the setting to get it working.

Web.Config file location :

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80(WebApp Port Number

Increase the limit :

<SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="false" DirectFileDependencies="10" TotalFileDependencies="50" AllowPageLevelTrace="false">
<PageParserPaths />
</SafeMode>

Changing the maxcontrols number did not help me and I am getting the same error. Is anyone else still having trouble with this?

I've tried the max controls, it works.
you may need to do an iisreset though.

kind regards

Is there any impact, like system performance if I increase the MaxControls to 1000 or even bigger number?

Thanks!

Thats was awesome. I will add this to my longlist of fixes and tweaks.

Prash,

I remember reading somewhere that if you increase the max controls setting, you might want to increase the IIS time-out value. Basically, if a page is going to have >200 controls, there's a good chance (especially on slower connections) that it will time-out before it displays. Just an idea...

Oh, and I have no idea on how to increase the IIS time-out value. I ended up rearchitecting my solution instead.

Hi,

I tried changing the maxcontrols but the error still remains. I did an IISRESET too. Any ideas?

Genius! Thank you kindly. Worked like magic.

If you have configured AAM - Alternate Access  Mapping, you must do it in port 80. It's bit late but hope it helps somebody

Regards
