You have to compile (build) your project before viewing pages. That's why
you get that error.. it simply does not know where (or what) the base class
you're inheriting from is.

Also, the first line of your header should look something like (you use the attribute "Codebehind" instead of "src"):

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="/fchs/earlytrack/codebehind/admin/pages_security.vb" Inherits="cb_pages_security"%>
