Asp Forum - Compile & Build works, but publish fails - microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.buildingcontrols

Hi,

Loosing hair today.

I have a web site that builds, rebuilds, debugs 100%. No problem. When I run
"Publish" though, it fails. Error in Output is:
"error BC30002: Type 'ASP.controls_questioncontrol_ascx' is not defined."

Now, questioncontrol is a "web user control" that is part of the project.

I have this in the aspx file (it errors on this line)
<%@ Register Src="~/Controls/QuestionControl.ascx" TagName="QuestionControl"
TagPrefix="uc1" %>

I have this in the code behind file (it errors on this line)
Protected WithEvents u_ctrl_DetailedQuestionsPerPage As
ASP.controls_questioncontrol_ascx

Using framework 3.5 VS2008

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

From your description, you're encountering the following error when try
publishing (precompile) an ASP.NET 2.0 web site project, correct?

"error BC30002: Type 'ASP.controls_questioncontrol_ascx' is not defined."

Based on my experience, such error is mostly caused by the precompilation
of some page's code file can not resolve a certain type(which is used in
the code). For your scenario, that problem type is a usercontrol's
codebehind class, and you have the following line to use it in a certain
code file:

===================
Protected WithEvents u_ctrl_DetailedQuestionsPerPage As
ASP.controls_questioncontrol_ascx
===================

would you tell me where did you put the above member field, in another aspx
page or ascx control's code behind?

Since ASP.NET 2.0 use dynamic compilation, two different page or
usercontrol are not guaranteed to be compiled into the same assembly. Thus,
if you want to reference the codebehind class type of another aspx page or
ascx usercontrol in a given page's codebehind, you need to add the
"@Reference" directive to explicitly indicate the ASP.NET runtime to
compile them into same assembly. e.g.

=========
<%@ Reference virtualPath="[path to your ascx user control]" %>
==================

#@ Reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w70...

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything unclear.

Hi,

Thanks for giving me some ideas.

In the end I only did 2 things:

1. Added the following to the control's directive:
Classname="myControlName"
2. In the asp code behind, I refer to the classname above, not to
asp.mycontrol

Thanks

Thanks for your reply Paul,

Yes, I think using "ClassName" attribute is a good idea. Actually, that
makes the ASP.NET runtime compile your ascx usercontrol's codebehind class
into the specified type name instead of a augogenarated one. Thus, other
pages reference via the "ClassName" can work correctly without explicitly
use @reference directive.

If you need any further help later, welcome to post here.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
