why is .Net IDE changing my "Inherits" field??

[phbrady]

OK,

I have a solution named "Quiz", residing in a folder called "Quiz". In my aspx pages, the Inherits directive reads "Inherits=Quiz", and my codebehind page contains the "Quiz" class. When I make changes to the codebehind page, the IDE changes the line to read "Inherits=Quiz.Quiz", and that causes a parser error! Every time I change my codebehind page, I have to remove the first "Quiz" reference from the Inherits line for my code to run. Why is this happening??
-----------
<%@ Page Language=&quot;vb&quot; AutoEventWireup=&quot;false&quot; Codebehind=&quot;Quiz.aspx.vb&quot; Inherits=&quot;Quiz&quot; Src=&quot;Quiz.aspx.vb&quot;%>
-----------

Thanks!

&quot;Inherits=Quiz.Quiz&quot;

is saying
Namespace: Quiz
Class: Quiz

The Namespace comes from what you originally named to project. If your codebehind file looks like this

Namespace Quiz
    Class Quiz Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    End Class
End Namespace

then your aspx page will need to use &quot;Inherits=Quiz.Quiz&quot;.

Whenever you change the classname or namepsace of the class defined in the codebehind file, VS updates the Page directive so that it inherits from the correct class.

Well

That's perfectly logical except that my codebehind file does not have the namespace statement. When I added the namespace statement, then the IDE automatically changed the aspx file inherits statement to read &quot;Inherits=Quiz.Quiz.Quiz&quot; !!
