Error in Masterpage, namespace already exists

Question

I want to add some code into my masterpage. So I removed the namespace but when I want to test it it gives this error. No idea how to fix this.

Error 2 The namespace 'Project' in 'c:\Users\Test\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\project\fe95a550\6aff5a12\assembly\dl3\9f54421a\e011b011_23bccd01\Project.DLL' conflicts with the type 'Project' in 'c:\Users\Test\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\project\fe95a550\6aff5a12\App_Web_exfemb4u.dll' c:\Users\Test\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files\project\fe95a550\6aff5a12\App_Web_hrdlxq5l.4.cs 154

Masterpage.cs

public partial class Project: System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }
}

Masterpage

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Project.master.cs" Inherits="Project" %>

Change your master page's name to something other than Project . as your project's name as well as you master page are name Project. It is creating conflict – Pepillo

Answer 1

Can you add a namespace before public partial ....

namespace Test
{
    public partial class MovieMeter : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
    {
         protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
         }
    }
}

Why did you remove the namespace ? please add one.

I get this error Error 3 The namespace '<global namespace>' already contains a definition for 'Project' C:\ProjectAsp\Project\Project.Master.cs 15 11 C:\ProjectAsp\Project\ – Loney

Did you try to change the namespace name just to see if the error change ? – Adelina

Look at that thread #6062472 – Adelina

Answer 2

Replace:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Project.master.cs" Inherits="Project" %>

With:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Project.master.cs" Inherits="Project" %>

It might solve...

Then the reason for the error is due to the way these two attributes are handled:

CodeBehind: Needs to be compiled before being deployed and the compiled assembly is put in the bin folder of your website.

CodeFile: You deploy the source and it is compiled as it is needed. The compiled assembly is placed in the Temporary ASP.NET folder.

Change your master page's name to something other than Project . as your project's name as well as you master page are name Project. It is creating conflict.
