Type 'SPSite' is not defined

Hi all,

I am trying to automatically create a document library in Sharepoint. I have been given the below code and been told that it will work once the microsoft.sharepoint.dll file is put in the assembly folder.

It is on Server03 with IIS 6.

I have the following code...
********************************************************
<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<%
Dim url As String
url = "

http://TestSP1"

Dim site As New SPSite(url)
Dim web As New SPWeb
web = site.OpenWeb()
Dim g As Guid
g = web.Lists.Add("MWMH", "MWMHDescription", SPListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary)
%>

<html>
<head>
<title>Create Doc Lib</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
*********************************************************

which is giving me the following error:
*********************************************************
Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compilation Error

Line 5: url = "

Line 6: Dim site As New SPSite(url)
Line 7: Dim web As New SPWeb
Line 8: web = site.OpenWeb()
***********************************************************

Thanks in advance guys!!!

thankgod - just dropping in for a hip shot on this as no one has tackled it - there is probably one or two who may be getting more information on this -- the error suggests that SPSite(url) isn't recognized - that tells me (as a technical user so only a hunch here) that something is missing in the page registration section at the top of the page. Are you sure that is complete. The point being whenever I see or encouter this error it winds up being a missing item in the registration area at the top of the page. Just a thought. My guess is that your problem is simple enough just have to identry the reason SPSite is "unknonwn".

set the page directive to import Microsoft.SharePoint too

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %>
...
<%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>

???

adamroof - I agree - it seems there is a missing directive.
