This error has me stuck in Chapter 2

In the ThemeSelector.ascx.cs file:

...
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using MB.TheBeerHouse;


namespace MB.TheBeerHouse.UI.Controls
{
    public partial class ThemeSelector : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {

....
...
I keep getting this error that somehow I cannot eliminate:

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).

Even when I have in my Template.master:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<%@ Register Src="Controls/ThemeSelector.ascx" TagName="ThemeSelector" TagPrefix="mb" %>

and in my ThemeSelector.ascx Control:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireUp="true" Inherits="ThemeSelector" CodeFile="ThemeSelector.ascx.cs"%>

Does anybody bump into something similar before?

Any help will be very much appreciated

Thanks --xrica32

Whenever you use a namespace in a code behind class you must be sure to specify it in your inherits attribute of the aspx or acsx code. So the change to make is this:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireUp="true" Inherits="MB.TheBeerHouse.UI.Controls.ThemeSelecto r" CodeFile="ThemeSelector.ascx.cs"%>

Marco does use namespaces throughout the code, but doesn't indicate it in the book.

Thank you so much!
I am new to ASP.NET and you guys are extremely helpful.

I've updated the 'inherit code' to follow the namespace. I also have:

using MB.TheBeerHouse.UI;

... In the ThemeSelector.ascx.cs file. I get the same error. Did I miss something else small?

So .. the ThemeSelector.ascx has:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="MB.TheBeerHouse.UI.ThemeSelector" CodeFile="ThemeSelector.ascx.cs" %>


The ThemeSelector.ascx.cs file has:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using MB.TheBeerHouse.UI;


public partial class ThemeSelector : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ddlThemes.DataSource = Helpers.GetThemes();
        ddlThemes.DataBind();

        ddlThemes.SelectedValue = this.Page.Theme;
    }

}


Don't quite get it. Moving on to chapter 3 all the same ... but would like to get my head around why this isn't working. Any further ideas?

(At times like this, Perl seems so simple! :P )

Hello Jwasp,
Try these changes, add Bold text and remove Strikethrough text as shown below:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using MB.TheBeerHouse<s>.UI</s>;

namespace MB.TheBeerHouse.UI.Controls
{
public partial class ThemeSelector : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ddlThemes.DataSource = Helpers.GetThemes();
        ddlThemes.DataBind();

        ddlThemes.SelectedValue = this.Page.Theme;
    }

}
}

for the .aspx page:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="MB.TheBeerHouse.UI.Controls.ThemeSelector" CodeFile="ThemeSelector.ascx.cs" %>

Good luck,
