    Custom section - cannot reference ui controls in code-behind

    I've followed the usual steps for creating a custom section in Umbraco (umbracoApp, umbracoAppTree, user permissions), created a separate project and included the usual references.

    Below is a simple page for the custom section

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="List.aspx.cs" MasterPageFile="../../../masterpages/umbracoPage.Master" Inherits="Patton.Extensions.Organisation.List" %>
    <%@ Register Namespace="umbraco.uicontrols" Assembly="controls" TagPrefix="umb" %>
    <asp:Content ID="Content" ContentPlaceHolderID="body" runat="server">
        <umb:UmbracoPanel runat="server" ID="Panel1" hasMenu="true" Text="List of stores">
            <umb:Pane runat="server">
                <asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="rptOrganisation"></asp:Repeater>
            </umb:Pane>
    </asp:Content>

    In the code-behind, I'm unable to reference the Repeater. Not sure what I've missed - any ideas?

    Umbraco 4.7.2

    .Net Framework 4

    Hmm you should be able to find the controls in the code behind. Here is an example I wrote which might help: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbraco-best-practices/standard-ui-controls/umbracouicontrols-page-samples

    Think my issue is due to how I am inheriting from umbracoPage.Master.

    I changed the MasterPageFile="../../../masterpages/umbracoPage.Master" to MasterPageFile="../masterpages/umbracoPage.Master" and I was able to correctly reference the ui controls in the code-behind.

    I then reverted back to MasterPageFile="../../../masterpages/umbracoPage.Master" due to the file structure I was using and all worked as expected and then has stopped working again.

    Any ideas?

    The issue is still apparent. I can now reference the .NET controls but I am unable to reference the Umbraco controls.

    I created a new page, and I am unable to reference .NET or Umbraco controls. Not sure what I am missing so any help would be much appreciated?

    I came across the answer here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5405311/cant-access-umbraco-uicontrols

    I needed to add a reference to the ClientDependency.Core.dll which then allowed me to reference .NET and Umbraco controls in the code-behind.

    Hope this helps anyone else who comes across this issue.
