VS2005/C#/Web Site : How do I creating multiple partial class files

[John Mott]

Hello all,

I'm trying to break up a large CodeFile .cs file into multiple pieces using
partial classes. I'm getting compiler errors which act as if it didn't merge
the multiple files.

in doing searches on this problem i saw hints related to setting namespaces
on the partial classes but i couldn't get it to work.

i had thought that it would work this way:

existing test.aspx:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="test.aspx.cs"
Inherits="test" %>

existing test.aspx.cs:

public partial class test: System.Web.UI.Page { ... }

and, what i had hoped would work would be:

test2.cs:

public partial class test: System.Web.UI.Page { ... }

I'm missing something obvious. Can anyone help?

thanks,

john
