I was getting this error in Chapter 6 and I figured I made a mistake. After lots of time and frustration, I decided to open the Planet Wrox site that I had downloaded. I was hoping that code would not have errors (since I didn't write it). However, I am still getting the error, CS0246 The type or namespace name 'BasePage' could not be found.
Is there a system setting I need to change to make this work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

Can you be more specific as to when you get this error?

BasePage is a class file you added yourself. Do you have it under App_Code/BasePage.vb/cs?

Also, how did you open the project's source that came with the book? If you open it as a Web site, it compiles fine for me and BasePage can be found.

If you provide more detail (detailed steps, VS version, how you're opening the site, when/where you get the error) I might be able to help you better.

Cheers,

Imar
