ASP.NET C# and creating pages from master - "inherits" value is always wrong?

I'm relatively new to ASP.NET (haven't touched it since .NET was first introduced). I'm using Visual Studio Express For Web 2012.

I've created a master page to work with. However, whenever I create a new page, the default value for "inherits" at the top of the page causes the page to not load, with a "could not load type" error.

I haven't even started coding yet, so I'm not sure what it's looking for.

Edit to add:

Top of a new page looks like this:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site1.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="login.aspx.cs" Inherits="Bitfork.login" %>

The generated code behind page:

namespace Bitfork
{
    public partial class login : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
    }
}

This issue was caused in my website when I was using CodeBehind property in <%@ Page ..> directive,

As soon as I changed it to :CodeFile , it worked without the need to recompile every time. I guess from ASP.NET 2.0 onwards this is the case for website templates.

What I observed was that [ framework 4 ], when I create website, the <%@ Page ..> directive contains CodeFile. When create WebApplication, then the <%@ Page ..> directive contains: CodeBehind.

This post may be helpful: ASP.Net 3.5/4.0 CodeBehind or CodeFile?

Issue resolved - I didn't realize I needed to recompile the page between each page load.
