"'If' must end with a matching 'End If'."

[Neo Geshel]

It seems that there is somewhere where an IF statement will not nor ever
function inside of an ASP.NET application.

I am using IIS5 on Win2K. I have a web page that uses ASP.NET includes
(an "@ resister" with the "Name:tag"). In the ascx include file I have a
Sub Page_Load that contains an IF statement. I need the Sub Page_Load to
exist inside the ascx file, because its results will be written to
another part of the ascx's contents.

It seems that the IF statement is incapable of functioning, as the
server is claiming that the IF statement has no matching "End If", when
in fact it does. I am using the following code:
If ((Request.Browser.Platform = "WinNT") And
(Request.Browser.Browser = "IE") And (Request.Browser.MajorVersion =
"6")) Then
strBrowserDetect = " <object id=""CTAdjust""
codeBase=""http://www.microsoft.com/typography/clearadj.cab#version=1,0,0,1""
classid=""CLSIDE22A7AB-A739-4C58-AD52-21F9CD6306B7""
VIEWASTEXT></object>" & vbCrLf & " <script type=""text/javascript""
src=""/js/cleartype.js""></script>" & VbCrLf
End If

It produces the following error message:

Compiler Error Message: BC30081: 'If' must end with a matching 'End If'.

Source Error:

Line 16: End If

When I strip everything out of the IF statement, and put the following
in the Sub:
If Request.Browser.Platform = "WinNT" Then
End If

I get the following very bizarre error message:

Compiler Error Message: BC30289: Statement cannot appear within a
method body. End of method assumed.
