Which version of Visual Studio. 2005 uses partial classes, so the definition will NOT be in the file.

hi,

the problem is, i cant compile the cs file with mcs on the linux-mono-machine. mcs error message is:

Login.aspx.cs(39,41): error CS0103: The name `TextBoxPassword' does not exist in the context of `Verwaltung.Login'

when i a add this line:

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox TextBoxPassword;

all works fine.... but what should i do, with the other classes there are a lot of elements...

Then the generated code will be in a different (but similar) file name, not the file that contains your custom code.

With .NET Framework version 2.0 MS introduced Partial Classes. Which means a Class can be defined in multiple places with its definition spread across multiple files.

Same happens with the classes that VS generates automatically for you. Like the Forms, etc.

In case of the Forms, the other file is hidden at first. You can click on Show All Files Icon in your Solution Explorer and you will see the Form has one more file where all the autogenerated code is saved.

You should also take a look at Partial Classes on MSDN.
