Inheritance problems

[bill]

What's up with inheritance in code behind? Is it reliable, or should I skip
it and forget about using inheritance in web forms until they get it right?

I'm using VB.NET 2005

I have a web form named wfBase.aspx.

In the code behind I have

Partial Public Class wfBase
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

and I have some public methods and variables.

I have another form named wfForm.aspx. In this code behind I have

Imports wfBase 'is this necessary?
Partial Class wfForm
Inherits wfBase

Everything works great.
Suddenly it stops working, and there are errors that wfBase contains no
public members.
I have to close Visual Studio and open it again, and then it works fine for
awhile, and then it happens again. Sometimes I only have to close the
solution and open it again. This is very aggravating.

Is there something I could be doing wrong?

Thanks
Bill

Don't inherit the other part of your partial classes. Partial classes are
classes which are defined in multiple source code documents, which are
merged at compile-time. In essence, you're defining your class as inheriting
itself, which is what is causing the problem.
