custom namespace/hyperlink

[Debbie Bick]

I have a website project and want to put a hyperlink on the web page. To do this, I created a custom namespace in Default.aspx.cs. I got errors when building the solution. Is

the namespace code in the wrong place ? or do I need to create an assembly for it to fix the errors ? What am I missing ?
Here is the namespace, other details and errors:

In Default.aspx page I put 
<%@ Register TagPrefix="study1wc" Namespace="study1.webcontrols" %> 
<study1wc:popupWindow NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com" runat="server" ID="test">testing</study1wc:popupWindow>

In Default.aspx.cs page I put
namespace study1.webcontrols
{
    public class popupWindow : HyperLink
    {etc... }

 
 protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
 
{
 
 HyperLink link = this;
 
writer.Write(
"<a");
 
 
 
 if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(link.NavigateUrl))
 
writer.WriteAttribute(
"href", "#"); 
 
 
 if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(link.CssClass))
 
writer.WriteAttribute(
"class", link.CssClass);
 
 
 if (_intWindowHeight <= 0 || _intWindowWidth <= 0)
 
{writer.WriteAttribute(
"onclick", "window.open('" + link.NavigateUrl + "');return false;");}
 
 
 else 
 
{writer.WriteAttribute(
"onclick", "window.open('" + link.NavigateUrl + "','"+ _strPopupTitle +"','width="+ _intWindowWidth +",height="+ _intWindowWidth +"');return false;");} 
 
 
 foreach (string key in link.Attributes.Keys)
 
{writer.WriteAttribute(key, link.Attributes[key]);}
writer.Write(
"&gt;");
 
RenderContents(writer);
 
writer.Write(
"&lt;/a>");
 
 
}
 
 protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)
 
{output.Write(Text);}
}
}
[Note: there is a RadGrid and RadComboBoxes defined after the custom namespace]




Errors when I Build Solution:
Default.aspx - Warning  Element 'popupWindow' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site, or the web.config file is missing. 
Default.aspx - Error      Unknown server tag 'study1:popupWindow'.

Hello Debbie,

I tried to replicate the issue which you described, but to no avail.
Attached to this message, you will find the code which I used for testing.

Please, take a look at it and let me know if there are any differences at your end, which I may be leaving out.

Best wishes,
