[Mono-dev] .aspx and .aspx.cs (spliting "codebehind") [SOLVED]

    Well.. form is an HtmlControl and not a WebControl.
    The "asp" prefix is, by default, registered to the namespace 
"System.Web.UI.WebControls". As such, it is supposed to work without "asp:" 
and not with it.

    That would not matter. All the DLLs in the bin folder are added for 
reference when the pages are compiled and executed. Changing the DLLs name 
would not matter. Just keep in mind that you do not have two DLLs that have 
definition of the classes with same name.

    As above... the DLL name can be absolutely anything. The craziest name 
that you can ever think of... and it will work all fine.

    In a little more detail -- consider if you have 1000 aspx pages in your 
project. You will not have 100 assemblies in the bin folder but probably 
just one assembly comprising of all the code-behind classes.
