why does this happen from time to time???????

i get lots of work done saving differnt copies of my page.

then i make a slight alteration and BOOM!!!!!!

i get this message:





Server Error in '/intranet' Application.



Compilation Error


Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: ASPNET: Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl).

Source Error:

Line 1:
Line 2: Partial Class secure_Default
Line 3: Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Line 4:



why does this crap keep happening????????

for any one who wants to know.......

i sorted this out by changing the two bits of code:


===================================
in the page itself i changed:

<%@PageLanguage="VB"AutoEventWireup="false"CodeFile="home.aspx.vb"Inherits="secure_Default" %>

to

<%@PageLanguage="VB"AutoEventWireup="false"CodeFile="home.aspx.vb"Inherits="secure_home" %>

===================================
and then in the code behind the page i changed the name of the partial class to match it:

PartialClass secure_home
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
ProtectedSub Page_Load(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As
blah blah blah
EndSub

EndClass

Did you take this any further? I've had the same problem

i had an error 'class name is ambiguous'

It seems to break when you try to reference classes from content pages in master pages or when I added a web user control

I 'cured it' by moving all the code to a new class in App_Code
Similar to your workaround

I'm not satified with that though...

Guys, whenever this happens, check your other pages. You most likely have a class duplicated somewhere else on your site. Happens all the time when retiring an old page but leaving it on the server. Make sure the class isn't declared in any other page that happens to be on the server - confuses the compiler since it doesn't know which one to use.

Pays to keep your site clean and tidy. I have spent many painful hours poring over these issues just to find out I didn't remove an obsolete page with the same class name in it.

gguthary - when you do that, add .Retired to the end of the namespace the old page lives in.
