Converting from a Web Project to Web Site

If you've converted from a VS2008 Web Project to a VS2008 Web Site, and tried to bring pages from one over to the other, you may have been stuck with the issue that your code doesn't see the objects created by the aspx. i.e. the text boxes, the drop downs, etc.

After you spend a while trying to match up namespaces, and letting Resharper fix a bunch of issues for you, you may still be stuck.

Here's one thing to check:

In your page directive, check to see that the compile has chnaged the CodeBehind attribute to read CodeFile. That's got me twice now. That's reason enough to blog about it.
