declared or not declared ?

[JohnZing]

I'm usinf asp 2.0 and visual studio 2005

In html
<img id="selcolorimg" runat="server" name="selcolorimg"
src="image4.jpg">

I want to use selcolorimg in code behind, but vs2005 throws an error
"selcolorimg is not declared"

Ok, i tried to insert

Protected selcolorimg As HtmlImage

BUT, NOW i get a new error
'selcolorimg' is already declared as 'Protected Dim WithEvents
selcolorimg As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlImage' in this class.

Declared where?? So, why vs2005 says is not declared??

Well it's clear that it is declared otherwise you would not get this error.
The question is why intellisense is not recognising the fact when you are
trying to use the variable. Try saving all. Recompiling the entire project,
and restarting 2005 and see if it appears in intellisense.

Thank you Terry!
I had to restart vs2005. Now it works! Lost 2 hours searching and
trying to figure out whats wrong with my code I feel so stupid... oh
well..

There is a bug in VS, where it keeps trying to declare items which don't need to be declared

The solution is to save work and close VS, then reopen VS, big pain in rear.
