Type not found in namespace; namespace name given is not as expected

[Algernon83]

In an ASP.Net project, I have a number of libraries, one of which is called FreeForm. In a particular page, I make reference to it with a Register directive and bring in an object with this tag:

<FreeForm:RecordFinder id="Finder" runat="server" />

When I try to view the page, it shows me the following error message:

CS0234: The type or namespace name 'RecordFinder' does not exist in the class or namespace 'FreeForm.FreeForm' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I can't think what's going wrong here. The register directive seems to be in order; in fact it's nearly identical to the one I use for the other libraries, and I'm able to put controls from the other libraries into my page. The most confusing part is that it lists the namespace as FreeForm.FreeForm as opposed to just FreeForm -- why is the second iteration of the name being attached? I'm very confused.

Can you show us your register directive?

I take it that there is no FreeForm.FreeForm namespace and that the correct namespace is just FreeForm, right?
