hi,
i have an aspx page in a web project, which loads a user control
dynamically.  (by the
way i don't have any problems using namespaces in C# web projects, this
seems to be just a VB thing).

the user control is in a sub-directory, and i cannot refer to the type
of the control to access its properties and methods.  when i move the
control to the root directory then it works fine.  this happens without
any use of namespaces.

i tried adding a namespace to the page and usercontrol but it
still doesn't work, i cannot even import the user control namespace
from within the code behind of the page.  all the classes are marked
public, and i have tried all sorts of combinations with the same
namespaces, different namespace for the subfolder etc. but it always
ends up the same.  when i recompile the project, it says "Type 'xyz' is
not defined".

any ideas why this is so unreasonably difficult?
thanks
tim
