Wrapping all elements of .NET project in Namespace

[lilOlMe]

For some reason the aspx web pages and web user controls in my project cannot see one another.

I have gone through most of them and added them to a namespace so that I can refer to my objects in my code...

Namespace MyNamespace
    Partial Class MyPage
....
    End Class
End Namesapce
 

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="MyPage.ascx.vb" Inherits="MyNamespace.MyPage" %>
 

Here's my problem:
For some reason the namespace contains different classes when I refer to it in different classes in my project.

Eg.
Referring to MyNamespace in MyPage will show 3 components...whereas referring to MyNamespace in MyOtherPage will show those 3 components and a couple of others.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
Am I not adding the namespace properly?
Why can't my project's components just be aware of the other components in the project?

Any advice on the situation would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I don't know why the namespace is different in different classes...but I got around the problem.

What I did was create a MustInherit Class to represent the Web User Control that I needed to refer to. I placed this class in the namespace for the project.

This class is placed in the "App_Code" folder in the project (I noticed that the classes in this folder were always added to the namespace).

This class Inherits the System.Web.UI.UserControl class.

I then declared the Subs and Functions that I wanted to expose to the rest of the code as Public MustOverride.

Then back in the Web User Control I changed it to Inherit the class that I just created (instead of inheriting System.Web.UI.UserControl).


EG:
The following is the class that exposes my Web User Control's code to my other code in the project:

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Namespace MyNamespace
    Public MustInherit Class MyUserControl
        Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
 
        Public MustOverride Sub TheSubThatNeedsToBeExposed()
 
    End Class
End Namespace
 

The Web User Control was changed to be:

Namespace MyNamespace
    Partial Class Impl_MyUserControl 'This used to be MyUserControl
        Inherits MyUserControl 'This used to be: Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
         Public Overrides Sub TheSubThatNeedsToBeExposed() 'This sub is now exposed to other code
             '....
         End Sub
     End Class
End Namespace
 

And the Asp for my Web User Control was changed to properly inherit the server side code like so:

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="MyUserControl.ascx.vb" Inherits="MyNamespace.Impl_MyUserControl" %>

None of my webobjects appear to HAVE a namespace at all?

From what I understand there is a Default namespace created and everything should work fine.

However, there is something preventing my web objects from referring to one another.

That is why I created a namespace and put all of my web objects into it.

I'm still not sure why I couldn't refer to the other classes in my code.
I'm also unsure of why, when I added the namespace, certain classes could only access a limited number of other classes in that namespace.

I was hoping someone here might know the answer.
Although, I'm content with the solution that I've come up with...I'm still curious as to why it didn't work the way I thought it should in the first place.

Possibly one of those "Protected" instead of "Public" keywords or something?
It is very strange.

It is very strange.

It was for a Public Class though.....

Oh well...if anyone else runs into this problem, hopefully my solution can work for them too.
