Labels etc on ascx page "Not Declared"

Hi,

I am getting the following error when trying to get the Guestbook module working. In the SignGuestbookVb.ascx.vb file, for example, I am getting the following error:

Name 'txtWebsite' is not declared

But the txtWebsite is declared, so I am not sure what is causing this. The only thing I have been able to determine is that the SignGuestbookVB.ascx.designer.vb is no longer associated with its parent, in the DNN project I have the designer is no longer showing up as a child to the Veiwsettings.ascx, rather it is inline with is, somewhat like this:

Code:

<viewsettings.ascx>
      <viewsettings.ascx.vb>
<viewsettings.ascx.designer.vb>

When it should be:

Code:

<viewsettings.ascx>
      <viewsettings.ascx.vb>
      <viewsettings.ascx.designer.vb>
<editGuestBookVB.ascx>

Here is a code snippet from the ViewSettings.ascx defining the txtWebsite:

Code:

            <td>
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtWebsite" runat="server" MaxLength="255" CssClass="NormalTextbox" ValidationGroup="Guestbook" />

And the corresponding ViewSettings.ascx.vb saying where it says txtWebsite is not defined:

Code:

                oInfo.SubmitterWebsite = Server.HtmlEncode(txtWebsite.Text)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

I had the same problem. In your .ascx file, double check that your first line is like this:

<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="WroxModules.GuestbookVB.ViewSettings" CodeBehind="ViewSettings.ascx.vb" %>

I originally made this mistake (missing a piece): Inherits="WroxModules.ViewSettings"

As the above poster mentioned, typically this is due to mis-matched namespaces between the .ascx, .ascx.designer.vb, and the ascx.vb files. Make sure they all match, and you should be set.
