I have Visual studio web express and vs express and .NET 2.0

For the past hour I've been fiddling with the master pages. Cute.

I am used to compiling a middle tier dll and then my web code behinds into its own web.dll.  I can't seem to make that happen.

The new partial classes mean I don't have to declare my asp.net controls separately in the codebehind.  But if you go to compile them in vs studio express, you have to add the declaration.

If you then run that dll with your asp.net pages, you get a duplicate error (paraphrasing the error but it means you have already declared the control and you don't need it in the code behind too).

So now I'm stuck. HOw am I supposed to use these tools?


I may just go back to SharpDevelop.  Simpler.

I see. I have to a designer file with the other part of the partial class.

Goes to show you, don't let your IDE or your tools tell you what to do.

The damn IDEs don't create the pages you need, you are screwed.  Phillips screwed!

Also, don't drink and code.

Also don't be the only one replying to your own thread.
