I am new to ASP.net 4.5

I tried to cut and paste a 4.0 program and I found out That 4.5 does not like TextBoxes.

It declares textbox1 in Default.aspx.designer.vb with "Protected WithEvents".

How do I fix this error in 4.5 so I can use the textboxes.

Error Code:

'TextBox1' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level

"Protected WithEvents" seems to be all right.
How do you (and from where) try to access the text-box when getting the error?

There is a good lesson to be learned here. Do not cut and paste code from the internet (or another program) and expect it to work immediately without any changes. There are lots of reasons why TextBox1 cannot be found in this program.

This is precisely why you were told to get a book on programming and work through it.

.NET 4.5 does not mind TextBoxes at all: It is just saying that there is no TextBox called "TextBox1" in your application.

Check your Default.apsx page and make sure that it contains a TextBox with that name, and that it is declared as runat="server"
