On the FAQ page, I am receiving the following error when I try to load the page:

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'Faq' is not declared.

Source Error:



Line 9:
Line 10: Protected Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Line 11: dlFaqs.DataSource = Faq.GetFaqList(txtSearchTerm.Text)
Line 12: dlFaqs.DataBind()
Line 13:

It runs fine locally, but when I attempt to run it on a hosted server, I get this error. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi there,

Do you have a file called Faq.vb in the BusinessLogic folder inside the App_Code of the application on the production server?

Yes I do. I have not made any changes to the original application code. Except the web.config file.

That's weird. The Faq page is the only page that accesses a class in App_Code directly from its Code Behind. The other pages all use ODS objects. However, that shouldn't make a difference.

Can you create a simple test file in App_Code and see if that works correctly. Something like this:

Public Class Test
  Public Shared Function HelloWorld() As String
    Return "Hello World"
  End Function
End Class

Then try to access this class from a code behind file, for example in a Page_Load method, like this:

Response.Write (Test.HelloWorld())

Does that work?
