Let me first say that I find it a bit odd that you need to reference System.Windows.Forms in an ASP.NET project.

As already posted by ondesertverge, you can fully qualify your types. You can create aliases for the namespaces to save some typing:

using WebForms = System.Web.WebControls;
using WinForms = System.Windows.Forms;

// ...

var textbox = new WebForms.TextBox();

You can alias the namespaces and uses the alias for each type:

using winforms = System.Windows.Forms;
using webForms = System.Web.Webcontrols;
...

     winforms::TextBox ...
     webforms::TextBox ...

...

Another option is to use the full name for each type (including the namespace), to avoid ambiguity.

You can fully qualify one of them.

System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
