I have converted a Website project to web Application. After converstion and during deployment I am getting loads of errors saying

Public Sub New() has multiple definitions with identical signatures.
Error 26 'lbtnConvertor' is already declared as 'Protected Dim WithEvents lbtnConvertor As System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton' in this class.
Standby' is already declared as 'Private Const Standby As String = "Standby"' in this class. etc

Can any one plz tell what is going wrong. How can I solve this.

kind Regards

Hi,

converting to web application moves control declarations such as

Protected Dim WithEvents lbtnConvertor As System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton

to the aspx .designer files. And if they are still present on your code-behind class, it can cause this error (e.g you can remove them if you have designer file in place).

One question, did you do "Convert to Web Application" (right-click in solution explorer the root node of the project)?

I did not convert my website from older versions of .NET framework.

I created new! .NET 4.0   web application.

And now I get the same error when I just created empty dataset!

How can I solve it?
