This is a Web site - not a web project. I have not set a Namespace.

Google searches point me in various contradictory directions (as usual).

Some say the namespace for everything in a web site is ASP - If I try ASP._Default I get the same error.

I tried adding default="FacilitiesManagement" (that is the site name) to my namespaces section in config.web - same problem - FacilitiesManagement._Default is not defined.
