WebControl Not declared... but it is? [RESOLVED]

Okay what's with this....

I added the DropDownList from the Web Controls toolbox and put it on my Webform1

I try to use code dropdownlist1.SelectedIndex = 1

But I get an error DropdownList1 is not declared.

I put it on the form and the html code shows that it is there.

What is wrong here?

I've got System.Web in my reference section of my solution.

Any ideas.. i am sure it's an easy answer.

Thanks

Try to see if the following line of code exists under "Web Form Designer Generated Code" region.

VB Code:

Protected WithEvents DropDownList1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList

If it doesnt, add it and then compile your code.

duh.... I had it spelled DropownList1

... left out the D

sorry
