ASP.Net (VB.Net) Compilation Error (Parser Error ) Unable to load type

Hello,

I recently uploaded an ASP.NET site to GoDaddy and wanted to test the website to ensure that everything looked ok. Well things working just fine on my laptop but when I try an run the site on GoDaddy I receive the following error:

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'CharWeb.CharSite'.

Source Error: 


Line 1:  <%@ Master Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="~/CharSite.Master.vb"  Inherits="CharWeb.CharSite" %>

Open in new window

All of the aspx files are located in the root directory as well as the master page.

What is causing this issue? On my laptop the directory is CharWeb/CharWeb/ then the files but on Godaddy I only have the root directory (html) then the actual website files.

Here is the actual code for the masterpage CharSite.Master:

<%@ Master Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="CharSite.Master.vb"  Inherits="CharWeb.CharSite" %>

You are missing the namespace. Either add the namespace charweb in your charsite class or change the above to

Inherits="CharSite"

Went into the Charsite class and in the codebehind added the imports CharWeb namespace but I am still receiving the error on goDaddy. Again everything runs on my laptop but not on their servers. Also tried removing CharWeb from the inherits statement, but that did not work either. This is weird as I did both of those before submitting to experts-exchange for assistance. What else could possibly be wrong?

After doing more research I decided to not only take the suggestion of CodeCruiser but also changed CodeBehind to CodeFile in the page directive and everything works now.

Thanks for the quick response
