Inheritance and Namespaces

[Bart Ross]

Hi,

I am trying to make some head way into the dotnet stuff and I am
experiencing something that is quite annoying.

I am use to creating web applications with multiple folders and in each of
those creating an index.asp page. However, when I try and add a web form
(index.aspx) in directory B I receive the following error saying:
class 'index' and class 'index' (defined in ..\directory A\index.vb)
conflict in namespace "PROJECT NAME".

Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there a way to not default the inheritance in page creation process?
Any other advice would be helpful since at this rate I would have to have
all my files have different names and thus directory structure is worthless.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bart,

Yes, this behavior is wrong and we've fixed it in our recent builds after
Beta 2. To workaround this in Beta 2, you can create a new Web Form with a
different name, then close any open designers for the file, and rename the
file in the Solution Explorer. This will rename the ASPX and code-behind VB
files, but it will leave the class name alone. The Web Form class name
shouldn't matter, since it's only referenced from the Page directive in the
ASPX file. Sorry for the inconvenience.
