How to Access ASP.NET Page Controls During PreInit?

Recently I've used a class as explained here to access dynamic controls during PreInit. The post is titled as "Accessing ASP.NET Page Controls During PreInit", and in local it works perfect, but on server I get the following error:

Compiler Error Message: CS1031: Type expected

Source Error:

Line 12:     /// in turn makes our controls accessible so that we can make the calls below. 
Line 13:     /// </remarks> 
Line 14:     public static void PrepareChildControlsDuringPreInit(this Page page)
Line 15:     {
Line 16:         // Walk up the master page chain and tickle the getter on each one

I'd appreciate highly if someone give me a solution or an advise on the issue.

It sounds like, locally, you are running on a newer version of the .NET Framework than your server.

Extension methods are only supported (with the syntax you're using) in .NET 3.5 and later, I believe. So if you are running a lower version of the .NET Framework than that on your server, I think that would cause the compiler error you're getting (when it tries to compile on the server).
