inaccessible due to its protection level

[Hasham]

Hi All,

I am in the way to upgrade my asp.net 1.1 app to asp.net2.0 . I have a
user control which contains a custom control for dropdownlist. The drop
downlist i sdefined in the .ascx file. The conversion wizard removed
the definition from .ascx.cs file where the control was defined as
protected.

Now this control is used in web pages in the same application. When I
am trying to access the dropdownlist control in the webfor i get th
error as "ControlSearch.usersDropDownList' is inaccessible due to its
protection level"

Can anybody help on how to get the code run. and also what is the
cause altough its declare protected and being used in the same
assembly.

Oh ...... in your control .... change private or protected to public
....

I have also seen it where it won't even put the protected or private
there. It might just be the type. But I agree with Raj, make sure
that it is public.

thanks for the suggestions..

it does not allow me to change the access modifier after the conversion
is complete by vs2005 conversion wizard. well installing the upgrade
patch provided y MS has solved the purpose
