Ambigous reference when loading ascx control

[Dave Alessi]

I migrated my project from VS 2003 to VS 2005. The application runs ok with a few exceptions, one being an ambigoius reference when loading a form. My application uses its own "master page" technique, where the ASPX form is static, and the body of the screen is loaded as an ascx file. One particular ascx file throws an exception when I try and load it. The error is "ambigous reference".

I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this, including renaming the file, and various other things. There is no other control or form with a similar reference.

I have other forms in the application that are constructed similarly, and they work fine.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

There must be some objects which has invalid reference. Try to find it by Line by line debugging (Using F11).

Unfortunately in 1.1 you could use same named methods - but in 2.0 anything that has a method name that appears in multiple assemblies (.Net or custom code) will result in the error you listed. Consequently, you may have to use HtmlTextBoxControls.ButtonType instead of just ButtonType previously...

Hope that this helps.
