Greetings,
How to duplicate asp page in visual studio 2008?

If I copy and paste the page I want in new folder in the same project the rename the copied asp page with new name I will have this kind of error:

Error 1 The type ‘IMAM_APPLICATION.AddContact’ already contains a definition for ‘cmbStateWork’ C:\Users\A\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\IMAM_APPLICATION\IMAM_APPLICATION\private\AddContactPrivate.aspx.designer.cs 23 66 IMAM_APPLICATION

and this error will repeated for all the controls I have in the page.

my page has more than 40 controls so it is really hard to rewrite and write the code again and I need similar page with same controls.

Is there a way to duplicate asp page in the same project??

    Merely renaming the page does not change the class of the page. You must also change the CodeBehind or CodeFile attribute of the @Page directive.

    My approach to this is to create a new page (with a different name or in a different folder) and copy only the controls from the source page into the new page. This way, I don’t forget to change the @Page directive.
