Parser error: Base class, type mismatch

Hello all. I have a login page that uses a web form textbox for the username and web form textbox for the password. Everything compiles fine, but when my browser tries to load the page I get a parser error:

"The base class includes the field 'txtPassword', but its type (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText) is not compatible with the type of control (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)."

Line 86: <td width="10" height="17"></td>
Line 87: <td height="17">
Line 88: <asp:TextBox id="txtPassword" runat="server" width="150" TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox></td>
Line 89: </tr>
Line 90: <tr>

The interesting thing here is that txtPassword is not of type System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText. I create the textbox by dragging the TextBox tool from the Web Forms tool box. Also, in my code behind I call txtPassword.Text and it works everywhere else in my web app. Any ideas? Thanks.

Here is my code:

In login.cs

change protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText txtUserName;

to

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.TextBox txtUserName;

I think the code is all right.
You should rebuild the project and run it again.
I guess you used html server control before and replaced it with web form control and something is still there.

surely the problem is TextMode="Password" isn't supported by a standard input text control ????
