The name lblorder does not exist in the current context label

<asp:Label ID="lblorder" runat="server" Text="Ordernumber: "></asp:Label>

code behind 

string test = lblorder.Text;

I hate this error. Once in a while it just pops up and I know that it has something to do with deleting the aspx.designer.cs and rebuilding the page or solution file but I work in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition and I dont have this aspx.designer.cs file

..help me..

You could always open the visual studio solution and add the xml for the file.

<Compile Include="blahblah\blahblah.ascx.cs">
  <DependentUpon>blahblah.ascx</DependentUpon>
</Compile>

I too had the same problem but I fixed it by providing the directive in the aspx file (html file)

The above format and content can be obtained by making a new web application project and copything the above similar directive that is automatically generated by visual studio!!

Once you delete the aspx.designer.cs you should be able to right click on the .aspx file and click "Convert to Web Application". This will regenerate you aspx.designer.cs file.
