Can't change controls name !

ips_sun

hi Experts! I am working on a website in ASP.Net/C#.Net.I am new to .Net Platform and also new to Web Development. My problem is.... if i change the name of any of the controls in an aspx page .... for example there is a textbox... when i change its name... i get an error message "The Directory Name is Invalid". And the IDE resets its name to the previous one. I mean i m not able to change its name. Thanx in Advance! Regards IPS

Probably you would be giving invalid name to them. Can you tell what names are you trying to assign.

I have experience with this problem! You can try to change its name in HTML tag ID="TextBox1" in source page. Example : id="TextBox1" runat="server"> Good luck :)

Me too experienced the same probs long back.. Its due to reference and dependencies made by the control to the register..... Hope u can do it now...

Problem might be If you change the deafult name in Designer.cs file it create object of textbox and assign delgates to it If you change the name of the control then it is not valid Did you tried changing the name of control in some other event like Init or preinit i think that will not give problem
