Could not load type 'Default.DataMatch' in DataMatch.aspx file

Question

I am developing a C# VS 2008 / SQL Server 2008 website, but now I am getting the above error when I build it.

I included the Default.aspx, Default.aspx.cs, DataMatch.aspx, and DataMatch.aspx.cs files below. What do I need to do to fix this?

Default.aspx:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs"
    Inherits="_Default" Title="Untitled Page" %>
...

DataMatch.aspx:

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="DataMatch.aspx.cs" Inherits="DataMatch" %>

Hi, try changing DataMatch.aspx for this

  <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="DataMatch.aspx.cs"
  Inherits="DataMatch" %>

You have _Default.DataMatch but _Default is not the namespace of DataMatch
