Error Loading UserControl

[Nathan Sokalski]

I am revieving the following error for one of my controls when loading any
pages that use it:

Server Error in '/exposure/app' Application.

The UserControl and the pages that use it are in the same directory. Here
are the lines I use to register and use the control in the *.aspx file (the
registration line is the first line in the *.aspx file, and it is used
immediately after the <form id="form1" runat="server"> tag):

<%@ Register TagPrefix="afbe" TagName="titlebanner" Src="titlebanner.ascx"
%>
<afbe:titlebanner id="titlebanner1" runat="server"></afbe:titlebanner>

The usercontrol itself is just an HTML table that contains 2 imagemaps. What
could be the problem? Thanks.

Without seeing your codefile, I'm first curious to your Inherits property.

I'm assuming that your class is called either AFBE or titlebanner, not AFBE.titlebanner.
As far as I know, you cannot reference a class underneath the control's
UserControl inherited class (the myControl class in the example below).

For a simplistic example, if I have a control called myControl that returns
a simple text box:

myControl.ascx
--
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="myControl.ascx.cs"
Inherits="myControl" %>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
--

myControl.ascx.cs
--
using System;

public partial class myControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox1.Text = "Hello there, this is a test!";
}
}
--


This control is then called on my web page via, Default.aspx, by the following:
--
<%@ Register Src="~/myControl.ascx" TagPrefix="DRL" TagName="myControl" %>
....
....
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<DRL:myControl runat="server" ID="mynewcontrol" />
</div>
</form>
