I am developing a C# VS 2008 / SQL Server 2008 website. I have a Gridview. I included the Default.aspx and aspx.cs files below. But when I build this I get the below error:

The Type ‘_Default’ already contains a
definition for ‘btnOWrite’

What do I need to do to fix this? I am not getting any errors now; just that this grid does not show up. Thanks!

    when you have a control made declaritively such as

    <asp:Button ID="someID" runat="server" />
    

    it instantiates a private member variable named someID. If you look at your class, you’ll see this line

    protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputButton btnOWrite;
    

    Basically, you’ve declared 2 controls with the same name. One in the mark up and one in the code behind. Just delete the declaration from your code behind file.
