asp.net calling variable undeclared when is clearly declared

In the following code the varaible 'strVisDiscount','strVisDisconn','strVisActive' are all listed as undeclared, but the above examples 'encString' to 'strBGroup' are not throwing the same error.

   <input type="hidden" name="session" value="<%=encString %>" />
            <input type="hidden" name="billerId" value="<%=strBiller %>" />
            <input type="hidden" name="billerGroupId" value="<%=strBGroup %>" />
        </td>
    </tr>
 
    <tr>
        <td align="left">
            <b>Billed Services</b>:
            <asp:datalist id="ddlConnections" runat="server" Width="100%" cellpadding="4" Visible="true">
                <HeaderTemplate>
                    <td valign="top" width="14%" align="left">
                        <b>Service</b>
                    </td>
                    <td valign="top" width="14%" align="left">
                        <b>Equipment ID</b>
                    </td>
                    <td valign="top" width="14%" align="left">
                        <b>Rate</b>
                    </td>
                    <td valign="top" width="14%" align="left">
                        <b><%=strVisDiscount%></b>
                    </td>
                    <td valign="top" width="14%" align="left">
                        <b>Connected</b>
                    </td>
                    <td valign="top" width="14%" align="left">

                    </td>
                    <td valign="top" width="14%" align="left">
                        <b><%=strVisActive %></b>

Declaration code here:

#Region "Private Members"

        Private strTemplate As String
        Private strConnectionTemplate As String
        Private strBillTemplate As String
        Public encString As String = ""
        Public strBiller As String = ""
        Public strBGroup As String = ""
        Public strEBillStat As String
        Public strVisDiscount As String = "Discount"
        Public strVisDisconn As String = "Disconnected"
        Public strVisActive As String = "Active"

#End Region

Open in new window

Why arn't they all being considered declared and how do I fix it?

masterpass

try something like this

Public Shared strVisDiscount As String = "Discount"

Is it just the editor or is it a compilation error?
try to recompile as sometimes the editor doesn't pickup things instantly...

I tried loading this ascx file into my default.aspx and got this error:

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'Cogsdale.Modules.ViewCogsdale'.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ Control language="vb" Inherits="Cogsdale.Modules.ViewCogsdale" Codebehind="ViewCogsdale.ascx.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" %>
Line 2: <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="Audit" Src="~/controls/ModuleAuditControl.ascx" %>
Line 3: <asp:panel ID="pnlUse" runat="server">

So it's failing to load the code behind file, but I can't see why.

What type of project is that? Website or WebApplication?
Can we see the code-behind as well please...

It's a web application. The whole code behind is over 300 lines, here is everything leading up to those definitions:
