CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Web.UI.Control.Controls.get'

I know there have been a lot of questions regarding this subject but none seem to help me in my situation so I'm posting another.

I was given a project and asked to split the project out into separate controls. Originally there was a folder in the project called "events" that referenced a control called "EventsRssFeedControl". My boss asked me to separate the events and EventsRssFeedControl and put them together in their own project. So I did that. I changed all the namespaces and got everything to compile. But when I try to navigate there, I get an error. Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Web.UI.Control.Controls.get'

Source Error:

<input type="hidden" name="selectedDate" value="<%= UMNEventsRssFeedControl.Controls.UMNEventsRssFeedControl.SelectedDateStr %>"/>

My code looks like this and I'm confused by calling it "non-static" and more confused as to why it doesn't work.

private static string _selectedDateStr;
public static string SelectedDateStr
{
    get { return _selectedDateStr; }
    set { _selectedDateStr = value; }
}

It works in the old project and the only things changed were the namespaces and the calls to the new namespace.

Your namespace and class are named the same thing. Don't do that.

The problem is actually not at SelectedDateStr.

UMNEventsRssFeedControl.Controls is asking for static getter of the property Controls of UMNEventsRssFeedControl. Obviously, Controls is an instance property of the mentioned class.

You need to supply an instance of UMNEventsRssFeedControl for the code to work.
