Asp.net 1.1

I am trying to create a contact form with asp.net 1.1 page and a vb code behind. when i reference a control in my vb code it acts as if it does not know what controls i am referencing I get "Name 'txtFrom' is not declared"
I get this for any aspx control I call in my vb code.
Here is my code

Code:

'vb code behind contact.vb
Imports System.Web.Mail
Imports System.Web.Mail.MailMessage
Public Class WebForm1
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Public Sub Btnsend_click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As eventargs)
        Dim objEmail As New MailMessage()
        objEmail.To = "myemail@here.com"
        objEmail.From = txtFrom.Text
        'objEmail.Cc       = txtCc.Text
        objEmail.Subject = "subject Email"
        objEmail.Body = txtName.Text & ", " & txtMSG.Text
        objEmail.Priority = MailPriority.High
        SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "123.456.789.1"
        Try
            SmtpMail.Send(objEMail)
    Response.Write(Your E-mail to has been sent _              )     Catch exc As Exception
            Response.Write("Send failure: " + exc.ToString())
        End Try
        
    End Sub
End Class

                                                                                                        <asp:Button id="btnSend" runat="server" Text="Send Email" onclick="Btnsend_click"></asp:Button>

Visual Studio 2003 had a tendency to do this. Try closing both pages (the aspx and the code behind page), opening the aspx page again, deleting the original control and adding it again. If that doesn't sort out the problem, you can add the reference to the control yourself (have a look at the Protected WithEvents declarations at the top of your code behind page to see how they are added).

Also, you should create a <form runat="server"> tag in your page as your .NET controls should be placed inside it.
