I believe you just need to override the method that checks for a form. You don't need to add any logic to the method. Just add the following to your code behind:

public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) { } 

ETA: You may also need to set EnableEventValidation="false" in the <%@Page /> element.
