Vista - problem with enum in web custom control

Hi,
i wrote a web custom control, that adds a search option to list box.

on of the properties are the position of the textbox that serves are
search, the position is Enum (Up, Down).

the code looks like that :
namespace SearchList
{
public Enum SearchListLoacation
{
Up,Down
}

[DefaultProperty("Text"),ToolboxData("<{0}:SearchList runat=server></
{0}:SearchList>")]
public class SearchList : WebControl,INamingContainer
{
private SearchListLocation _SearchLocation;
public SearchListLocation SearchLocation
{
get {return _SearchLocation;}
set {_SearchLocation = value;}
}

......
}

}


(HTML)
<div>
<cc1:SearchList ID="SearchList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
SearchLocation="Down" />
</div>



when i try to compile the code (custom control + website) i receive
the following msg ;

SearchList.SearchList does not contain a definition for
'SearchListLocation' .

the project is framework 2 version.


what can cause this kind of error ?

Rony,

It sounds like either a reference that hasn't updated, or confusion
because of the naming. Is that the exact error message? I would have
expected the message to match the property, not the type - after all, to
get the type (from just the property name) it must have resolved the
type! Can you confirm whether both the aspx and the error message are
verbatim?

I also have my doubts about the wisdom of names that lead to
"SearchList.SearchList" - that is a recipe for confusion.

Thanks,
is seems that the designer can't understand when the namespace and the
class are with the same name.

Did you cut and paste the code? There is a typo if you did. Your enum:
public Enum SearchListLoacation
{
Up,Down
}
