Hi, I went through the whole forum looking for a solution for my problem, but to no avail, so I'll give it a try posting and hope someone can help me figure out what my problem is.

I have a web user control called "details.ascx". Right now it's pretty empty. I use it in a ajax ModalPopup to display details about a transaction.

I have no problems dynamically loading a "normal" user control with loadControl or addressing it. But in this case, I want to load a "custom control" (if that's the word for what I'm doing).

But I keep getting the "Type not defined error". In the example I provided, all I wanted to do to test if it works is to setup a label text in my custom control

Here's the important code :

---DETAILS.ASCX----------------

<%@ Control Language="VB" ClassName="B2B_ctrls_details" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="details.ascx.vb" Inherits="B2B_ctrls_details" %>

<asp:Label ID="LBId" runat="server" Text="Label" Width="289px"></asp:Label>

--DETAILS.ASCX.VB ----------------

Partial Public Class B2B_ctrls_details

Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl

Public _ValueID As Integer

Public Property ValueID() As Integer

Get

Return _ValueID

End Get

Set(ByVal value As Integer)

_ValueID = value

End Set

End Property

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Me.LBId.Text = Me.ValueID

End Sub



End Class

------ RECHERCHE1.ASPX , THE MAIN PAGE THAT LOADS THE CONTROL ---------

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" EnableViewStateMac="false" ValidateRequest="false" MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" Debug="true" CodeFile="recherche1.aspx.vb" Inherits="recherche1" Culture="auto:en-US" UICulture="auto" %>

<%@ Reference Control="~/B2B/ctrls/details.ascx" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="WebUserControl1" Src="~/B2B/ctrls/details.ascx" %>

------- RECHERCHE1.ASPX.VB -----------------------------------

Here's the line of code that gives me that dreaded error BC30002 !

Dim SearchControl2 As B2B_ctrls_details

SearchControl2 = CType(Page.LoadControl("ctrls/details.ascx"), B2B_ctrls_details)

-----------------------------------

It chokes on that line. I've been struggling with either a "Class not accessible as no public members exist" , what I lost now somehow but whatever I try I get the type not defined error.

The thing I don't understand is that even intellisense sees my class. Doesn't give me an error at all until I try to debug or build the application then I get "1 failed"

I've looked all over the place for an answer but every trick I tried ended up with the same error.

I'm pretty desperate. Any help will be appreciated as I have a deadline coming soon.

Thanks a lot for your time.
 
You will probably want to post this question here:

forum855

That forum deals more with ASP.Net, whereas a lost of posts in here are for Windows Forms, class libraries, etc, specific to the Visual Basic Language.
 
Ah ok thanks a lot ! I'll do that. Thanks for your time. I wasn't sure which forum was the best for my question.

Have a nice day.
