Help: Ambiguous match found

[Eidolon]

Hi,
I am having a problem with the above mentioned error, "Ambiguous match
found".
I have a new class i defined, PageBase. All my pages inherit from this, and
this in turn inherits from System.Web.UI.Page.
All works fine.

Now, i have a property in the page < Protected ReadOnly Property Action As
String >.
In one of the inherited pages however, there is a new Action property which
should be used, not this one.
So i try to define my new property (a WebForms textbox) as:
< Protected Shadows WithEvents action As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox >
Compiles fine.
When i run it though, i get the error.

Everywhere ive looked i see this was a bug, but is supposed to be fixed in
VS2003/.NET 1.1. Only problem is, im running Studio 2003 and all my
components are framework 1.1 based. So why would i still be getting this
error?

Thanks in advance,
- Eidolon.

either rename your class or use a fully qualified name to decorate it like
instead of
ClassVar var = new ClassVar()
you would say
namespace.smallernamespace.tired.ClassVar new = new blah
