Sever controls are hidden in VS2005?

[jennifercheng2008]

I spend hours today in this problem:
It looks the controls are hidden during compile.
In the c# code, I can see the controls. When I write "this.", the controls can show in the popup window.
But compile the code, I got error message "_Default' does not contain a definition for 'UserNameTextBox'".

It happened to other controls. Why these controls are hidden by VS2005? Any idea to avoid this problem?

My aspx code here:

<%@ Page
Language="C#"
MasterPageFile="PageMaster.Master"
AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs"
Inherits="_Default" %>
...
<asp:TextBox ID="UserNameTextBox" runat="server" >
...

C# code here:
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String test3 = this.UserNameTextBox.Text;
}
}


By the way, when I right click "UserNameTextBox" and select "go to definition", get error message "the definition of the object is hidden"

Thanks very much.

delete the page and recreate it. this usually fixes anomalies with VS code generation.

Hi Jason,

I deleted the old codes, and create new one. It is worse this time. I even can't see the controls.

When I write "this.", the controls (textbox and label) can't show in the popup window.

Is there any problem with my VS2005?

Thanks.

Strange thing happened!

First I can't see controls in c#. After I changed aspx code to design view, and back to "source view", I can see the controls in c# code. But when compile, still get the same error message in my first post.

Any advice will be appreciated.

try restarting Visual Studio. If that doesn't fix the problem try repairing VS. The designer code should "just work". Other than that I'm out of ideas.

Just figured it out.

After C# code's property (Build action) from "content" to "embedded resource", everything is ok.
