Hi there, I guess you are adding the TextBox control to the Page instance. The TextBox is one of the controls requiring to be placed inside the tag Form with runat=server, so in this case you can access the Form element, then add the textBox to it. You can also simply place a container control like Panel, PlaceHolder ...inside the tag Form in the web page, then add the TextBox to the container.

The simple way is to place a container at that location, then add the textbox to the container. I wish I could give you more info when I'm not sure what you may want to do.
