Hi David,

The whole page or solution was compiled OK, but then I was getting some werid errors in run-time. So, at the end, I just used the ASP-style comment and was finally able to access my user control and get everything working. I also succeeded in implementing of event following exactly the http://chiragrdarji.wordpress.com/2007/08/23/raise-event-from-user-control-to-main-page-event-delegation-from-user-control-to-aspx-page-in-aspnetc/
