I have a user control with code behind of which two instances are
created/declared in my aspx page. The aspx page has code behind also, as
I need to access methods of the usercontrols on page submit.
I've read several post here and articles on the web on this topic. What
little I have learned from them is that you have to pre-compile the
usercontrol in order to access it in the aspx code behind. I did this,
compiling the usercontrol (CityGeoPosListBoxClass) into an assembly
(CityGeoPosSelectVB.dll), but I still can't get the app to compile. The
error I'm getting presently is:
Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'CityGeoPosListBoxClass' is not
defined.
Source Error:
Line 12: Public Const dRadiusEarth As Double = 6366.707
Line 13:
Line 14: Public ucCityListBox1 As CityGeoPosListBoxClass
Line 15: Public ucCityListBox2 As CityGeoPosListBoxClass
Line 16:
, which is in Test.vb.
I believe my problems are how I set up the <@Control > and <@Register >
tags in the ascx and asp file, and not understanding how to
declare/reference the usercontrols in the aspx codebehind. So my
questions are:
What needs to go in the <@Control > and <@Register > tags to properly
register and access the assembly and it's usercontrols?
How exactly do you reference the controls in the aspx page code behind?
I'd appreciate any help on what I'm doing wrong here.
Thanks and Regards,
