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

[epixelman]

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.

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

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