Why do I get the error Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: A ControlID must be specified in ControlParameter ''. When it is specified

Hello. I'm trying to have 2 searches on one page. When I use this code both searches work fine:

But when I try to change the 2nd datasource to include the filter expression attribute and the <FilterParameters> and the <asp:ControlParameter> Then I get the error: Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: A ControlID must be specified in ControlParameter ''.
I'm sure I specify the ID here is the code where I specify the ID:

<FilterParameters>
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox2" Name="Last_name" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" DefaultValue="1" />
        </FilterParameters>

Open in new window

This is all the code on that page that gives me the error after I change the datasource to include the

FilterExpression="[County] LIKE '%{0}%'"

Open in new window

and I add this

<FilterParameters>
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox2" Name="Last_name" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" DefaultValue="1" />
        </FilterParameters>
