Design-time error not finding a UserControl Type?

[blakemckenna]

I've created a WebForm UserControl to be placed in a GridView control. When I try to update a control within the UC, I get the following error: "Type 'apps_Inspection_UserControls_IQ_MicroVu' is not defined. Now 'apps_Inspection_UserControls_IQ_MicroVu' is the UC Class name. I'm not sure why it's giving me this error. I've attached a code screenshot that shows the error message exactly as it looks in the code-behind.

Thanks,

Is that UC in the same project? Is it in the same namespace?

I'm not sure if that is the case but in other companies controls you have (either automatically or manually) to define them on handlers or assemblies in web.config .

No, the UC is not in the same namespace!

No, the UC is not in the same namespace!

Is the namespace imported in that code file? The designer should handle that sort of thing automatically but if there could be a bug that caused the addition of the import to fail or your having changed the namespace later would might account for it.
