CodeBehind - Inheritance - Could not load type 'HtmlControls.Form' book example
Hello I am trying to learn ASP.NET using VB.NET from a book called Visual Basic .NET Developer's Guide to ASP.NET, XML, and ADO.NET. All the examples use this syntax so I believe they have to work.
Here is the error I receive when the page loads into Internet Explorer:
Parser Error

what is ur project name .. or the namespace given to ur project .. check for it in the menu project->project properties .. in the wondow opened what is the value for the textbox "Root namespace" is it HTMLControls ... Did u compile ur project? i.e. menu .. Build->Build solution ...
by the way, all the names u have used are reserved words and its always better to avoid them . .HTMLControls, Button etc are also used by ASP.net for its own references to controls ...

hi
your code is running perfectly in my machine , only change is namespace name in Inherits="testAppVB.Button
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Button.aspx.vb
make sure that HtmlControls is your namespace name

Removing the "inherits" worked. Thanks!
am suprised how removing the inherits would work .. did the code-behind code also execute properly after removing the inherits statement? Could you please explain?
This is what MSDN says about those attributes in the page directive (@Page ..)
The Codebehind, Inherits, and Src Attributes
In Web Forms that use code-behind files, the @ Page directive (or @ Control in user control files) contains attributes that specify the relationship of the .aspx file and its code-behind file. These attribute are:
Codebehind In Visual Studio, this attribute references the name of a file that contains the class for the page. For example, if you create a Web Forms page in Visual Studio called WebForm1, the Codebehind attribute will point to WebForm1.aspx.vb or WebForm1.aspx.cs. This attribute is used only by the Visual Studio Web Forms Designer. It tells the designer where to find the page class so that the designer can create an instance of it for you to work with. The attribute is not used at run time.
**************************
Inherits Identifies the class from which the page derives. In Visual Studio, this points to a class in the project assembly (.dll), as shown in the diagram above.

So how does ur code work??? i.e. if u have code in the .vb file

Rejojohny - thank you for the follow up question. But, I am unable to answer the question. I am new to ASP.NET and VB.NET and am trying to understand what is going on as well - this is an example in the book I mentioned and that I couldn't get it to work. I am hoping that as I get through the book I will "get it".
copy that dll under directory c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin
