ASP.Net 2.0 Vb Root Namespace with MasterPage

[gabe]

Hi,

We have a number of projects that will use the default 'Root
Namespace' option in the project properties box. There will be a
common Master Page that will be used among the projects. I'd like to
be able to use the master page without including the root namespace in
the masterpage Page declaration. In the example below, 'TESTApp' is
the default Root namespace (the name of the project)

<%@ Page Language="vb"
AutoEventWireup="false"
MasterPageFile="~/Site3.Master"
CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb"
Inherits="TESTApp.WebForm1"
title="Untitled Page" %>

-----------------------------
<%@ Master Language="VB"
AutoEventWireup="false"
Codefile="~/Site3.master.vb"
Inherits="test.Site3" %>
--------------------------------

I can get it to compile by using the Codefile attribute. However, if I
try to create public property on the MasterPage, and use the
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/Site3.Master" %>
or to Type it directly, I get a run time error stating that it the
following
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional information: Unable to cast object of type
'ASP.site3_master' to type 'TESTApp.test.Site3'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CType(Page.Master, test.Site3).ButtonText = "asdf"

Is there a way to do this without just removing the project 'Default
Namespace'? Or override if for the that page, and not include ti?

Thanks in advance,

Gabe

Hi

if you didn't notice
one of the comments that the compiler tells you is
that the fact that you've added the Namespace test in the
begining of the code file of the master page
caused it to be a sub name space to the Root NameSpace
which is the name of the application "TESTApp"
I VB.NET as far as I know it's impossible override/workaround it
in C# it is

Thank you. It still does it. I've been working with it some more, and
still couldn't figure out a way to do it. I agree that I don't think
it's possible in VB.

I am curious though, how would you do it in C#
