Hi there,

Is this about Beginning ASP.NET or about Professional ASP.NET? In the former case, you find the book's own forum category here: http://p2p.wrox.com/book-beginning-asp-net-4-c-vb-560/

That said, can you post the code and the error message you get? Have you tried closing all documents or restarting VS?

Cheers,

Imar

Can you post the exact error message (right-click it and choose copy), as well as the full code for the page that uses this control?

If you post code, can you please paste it in Notepad first to remove color coding and then use the forum editor's Code toolbar button to wrap your code in code tags. Otherwise, this forum messes up the code.

Have you? And did that help?

Not sure what's going on, but it looks like your site structure is not OK. Take a look at this:

Site_Controls_banner

See the Site_ prefix? That seems to suggest you openend C:\BegASPNET as the site, instead of C\BegASPNET\Site. This in turn could lead to issues like this, where ~/Controls is not where you think it is.

Can you post an image of your Solution Explorer online somewhere?

Cheers,
