cannot use codebehind for user control!

[news.microsoft.com]

Getting really frustrated, I've been trying for 6 hours now! Got this very
simple web app having a main .aspx page which has a user control (added with
the Register directive) and the TemplateTop.ascx wich works 100% until I try
adding codebehind, eg;

<%@ Control Codebehind="TemplateTop.ascx.cs" Inherits="TemplateTop" %>

And in the TemplateTop.ascx.cs file:

using ...
public class TemplateTopCB : UserControl
{
public Literal MyLiteral1;
void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MyLiteral1.Text = "success!";
}
}


The error is:
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'TemplateTopCB'.

Is it that your class name (w/CB) does not match "inherits="?

sorry my mistake, it is Inherits="TemplateTopCB" in the code - so this is
not the cause of the error!

thought I'd let you know it's 100% working after I added
Src="TemplateTop.ascx.cs"

to the @Control directive

This puzzles me though. It tells me that the Codebehind code has to be
precompiled by Visual Web Developer to work. What if I was for instance
using a text editor to do this web, would it then be impossible without
precompiling the .cs code in command-line?!

what on earth is going on?! It works for a few times and then suddenly
(without having changed anything!!) - it is if like .Net just loves creating
errors for me!!!

I usually don't use the register directive directly. I'd remove it and drag
the control onto your form via the IDE, which does that for you. I presume
this is the same for C# as it is VB. Have fun.
