    This may be a stupid question, but are you debugging when you are trying to do this?

     Of course not, everything is ok when the page in Source View. Even I have restarted VS2005 many times, but the problem still exist when the page in Design View, weired!

    If you type in design view, does undo button become enabled?
    Thanks

    Nope, both Undo and Redo buttons are disabled. And I just noticed that, if I make a copy of both *.aspx, *.vb and rename it, the copied page has no such problem. How could this happen? Surprise

    This is a well known bug in VS2005, and has existed since before release. Maybe someday MS will fix it.

    It has something to do with the refactoring failing.

    Here is a little history of the bug (it used to give an error message until they "fixed it" now it doesn't give a message, but the ID still won't change )

    The best solution is to delete your website cache as outlined in the above link.
