I'm trying to use a third-party postback control
(http://www.obout.com/pb/postback.aspx) which appears to do just what I
need. It includes a .dll, and some example (aspx and vb) pages. I added a
reference to the .dll, and it shows up under references. I can browse the
contents in the object browser. However, when I try to compile, I get a
"Type expected" error on the declarlation line, as shown below:

Imports OboutInc.Postback

Public Class DataProcessing

Inherits Page

Protected obPost As Postback '<--error is here.

Is there something else I have to do to get the compiler to 'see' the
referenced .dll?

Thanks.

Joe

Did you include the correct namespace in your code so that it can find the
class?

There is a
Imports OboutInc.Postback

in the .vb -- I'm guessing that this is the equivalent of the namespace tag
in .aspx?

There's a namespace declaration in the .aspx but not the .vb (this is a
downloaded example file.). Should it be in the .vb as well?

Got it, I had to fully qualify the type:

Protected obPost As OboutInc.Postback.Postback

that did it.

Thanks to all.
